Hi,

If you are using hugs, it comes with a program named 'runhugs' that you 
can use on the shebang line in executable haskell scripts, e.g.

   #!/usr/bin/env runhugs
   main = putStrLn "hello"

I believe the latest ghc comes with a similar tool named runghci, but I 
am not sure about this.

Alternatively you can hack up a runghci script, something along the 
lines of

   #!/bin/sh
   file=`mktemp -t ghci`
   mv $file $file.hs
   cat $* | tail +2 > $file.hs
   echo main | ghci -v0 $file.hs

Hope that helps,
