Run ghci on emacs startup?

Run ghci on emacs startup?

[Bastian.Webster]

I am trying to get ghci to run and to change the size of the buffer to
a height of 5 lines when I startup Emacs.  I have not been able to
find anything online on how to accomplish this.  Any help would be
appreciated, and thank you in advance!

You can try something like this in your .emacs:

(setq inhibit-startup-screen t)

(require 'haskell-mode)
(require 'inf-haskell)
(setq haskell-program-name "ghci")
(let ((split-width-threshold nil))
  (run-haskell)
  (set-window-text-height (get-buffer-window "*haskell*") 5))

Good luck,

ha ha!  Awesome! I had actually just managed to do it, but your method
is much better.  Here is what I came up with:

(run-haskell)
(select-next-window)
(enlarge-window 16)

Thanks for the help!

select-next-window being a function I found here:
