Nearly - the first suggestion doesn't work because each es needs a new panel I can't use the same one each time.
The second suggestion doesn't quite work because the x in [text := contents x] is not in scope of the \p function.
Hmm, Prelude Graphics.UI.WX> :t \w -> mapM (\x -> panel w [] >>= \p -> textCtrl p [text := x]) \w -> mapM (\x -> panel w [] >>= \p -> textCtrl p [text := x]) :: Window a -> [String] -> IO [TextCtrl ()] x is in scope as far as I can tell, the mapM'd lambda is mapM (\x -> (panel nb [] >>= \p -> textCtrl p [text := contents x])) my_list or mapM foo my_list where foo x = do p <- panel nb [] textCtrl p [text := contents x] x is bound in a scope enclosing p's scope, so it is (or should be) available. What does the compiler say exactly?
