By default, GHCI's prompt shows all the modules you have loaded into your interactive session. If you have many modules loaded this can get long:
Prelude Data.List Control.Monad> -- etc
The :set prompt
command changes the prompt for this interactive session.
Prelude Data.List Control.Monad> :set prompt "foo> "
foo>
To change the prompt permanently, add :set prompt "foo> "
to the GHCi config file.
