Write to text file in IDE Haskell

I have the following code and am using an online IDE from School of Haskell: 

import System.IO

main = do
    h <- openFile "message.txt" WriteMode
    hPutStrLn h "Greetings earthlings"
    hClose h

But it doesn't seem to be working. Where is message.txt saved?

FP Complete's Haskell IDE doesn't let you browse the files you've created from code. But your program still worked!

import System.IO

main = do
    h <- openFile "message.txt" WriteMode
    hPutStrLn h "Greetings earthlings"
    hClose h

    r <- readFile "message.txt"
    print r

You should see "Greetings earthlings\n" in the console, as expected.
