Thanks for those replies, it's a lot clearer now. By the way, is there
a unified package view for all the documentation shipped with the
Haskell Platform, or do I need to know what library to look in?
cheers,
Roly

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.12.1/html/
but if I click through to the Haskell Hierarchical Libraries page
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.12.1/html/libraries/index.html
I can't for example find Control.Monad.State. I guess I'm missing something obvious about how things are organised?
This is part of the mtl library. Prior to GHC 6.10.4, this used to be part of the "extralibs" that were often bundled with GHC and thus were on GHC's documentation page. With 6.10.4, extralibs was replaced with the Haskell Platform and as such is no longer featured on GHC's documentation page.
