Hi thee,
this is most likely due to the XP shell invoking 'ghci' as follows:
p:\ath\to\ghci c:\Documents and Settings\foo\....
which makes it look as if multiple arguments are given on the
command-line (indeed, that's what the argv vector will contain.)
The registered file assocations for .hs and .lhs takes care of quoting
the filename argument, so I'm not sure this is worth fixing.

Enterprising souls may want to have a look at the Registry key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell\openas\command
and look at how the %1 arg is quoted (or not)....

Subject: GHCi-5.04.2: Windows Open with ... problem.
Hello.
I am having a problem using the Open with ... on haskell-files under =
WinXP. The problem is this: create a file on my desktop and then =
right-click and try to open it using Open with -> ghci. I get the =
following error message:
can't find module `C:\Documents' (while processing "C:\\Documents")
Obviously GHCi incorrectly handles white space in the path. If I run =
under Cygwin I can use a script like:
c:\\ghc\\ghc-5.04.2\\bin\\ghci `cygpath -d $1`;
But how do I solve this if I'm not using cygwin?=20
Thanks, Calle
