The above's an expression, whilst files contain function/datatype
definitions along with (possibly) a function called main which is treated
specially in that for runhugs and the haskell compilers this function is
automatically run upon startup. Using normal hugs, try

prog x=[1,2,3]!!x

(so you're defining a program `prog') in the file, load it in and then
evaluate prog 2 (for example). I think the included documentation gives
you some examples to show this kind of thing. HTH,
