- <para>To start using Visual Haskell right away, first create a new

- project types (Console Application or Library Package), and hit Ok.

- <para>You can now start adding code to
- <literal>Main.hs</literal>, or adding new modules. To add a new
- module, right-click on the <literal>src</literal> directory, and

- modules too: you can add new folders using the same Add menu to
- create new nodes in the hierarchy.</para>

- <para>If you have any errors in your code, they will be underlined with
- a red squiggly line. Select the Tasks window (usually a tab near the
- bottom of the Visual Studio window) to see the error messages, and
