Thanks for the tip, and the lazy example.
I think I'm finally beginning to "get" monads, so I decided to test my
understanding with this small example. So far so good, except for that
little bump in the road.
Onward and upward.

btw I always find it amusing to play with interact and lazy IO:
guess :: [Char] -> [String] -> [String]guess (c:cs) ~(i:is) = "What's your guess, heads or tails ('h' or 't')?" :
(if [c]==i then "You win!" else "You lose!") : guess cs is
main = do gen <- getStdGen let rs = randomRs (0,1::Int) gen
cs = map ("ht"!!) rs interact $ unlines . guess cs . lines

What's your guess, heads or tails ('h' or 't')?
h104You win!What's your guess, heads or tails ('h' or 't')?10You lose!What's your guess, heads or tails ('h' or 't')?
So getChar also receives the linefeed character.
An easy way to get around this, is to use getLine instead and just use the first character, as in
>> fmap head getLine
But of course we're hacking away here :-)
