How to start an emacs editor within ghci asynchronously with :edit filename.hs :set editor emacs & don't go

Hi Haskell Team, if i set my editor to ":set editor emacs &" and - say- want to edit my aaa.hs file , I enter ":edit aaa.hs", the ghci console answers: "/bin/sh: a.hs: not found", instead of opening emacs asynchronously. (":set editor nohup emacs" does not help either) then while editing emacs even i can enter commands ? into ghci, but they are not performed at all. GHCi's work goes on not before I close emacs. help is appreciated, Hape - Novice ;-)
