Yeah, the statement at the top that "you can run most of these examples in ghci" really tripped me up. On one hand, it gave me the clue that the haskell REPL is called "ghci", so I just went to my ubuntu box and typed "ghci" and got told I needed to install "ghc", which I did and was on my way. On the other hand, the examples weren't actually able to be run in ghci. :/

What you can do is:

1. paste all (well most, I haven't verified it to say all) of the functions in "anyfile.hs" 2. cd to the same directory as anyfile.hs in terminal 3. open ghci 4. :load anyfile.hs 5. Play with the functions!
