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.
