Summary:

Hugs 1.3 is a functional programming system based on Haskell, the de facto standard for non-strict functional programming languages. This manual should give you all the information that you need to start using Hugs. However, it is not intended as a tutorial on either functional programming in general or on Haskell in particular.

The first two sections provide introductory material:

A brief technical summary of the main features of Hugs 1.3, and the ways that it differs from previous releases.
A short tutorial on the concepts that you need to understand to be able to use Hugs.

The remaining sections provide reference material, including:

A summary of the command line syntax, environment variables, and command line options used by Hugs.
A summary of commands that can be used within the interpreter.
An overview of the Hugs libraries.
Pointers to further information.

Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned old-timer, I hope that you will enjoy working with Hugs, and that, if you will pardon the pun, you will use it to embrace functional programming!
