[...] Are there any examples available that include loading textures from files? That's really what I'm after.
Not exactly, there is only one helper module (GLUT/examples/RedBook/ReadImage.hs) for reading the simple raw image format used in the Red Book for the examples related to the imaging subset. A "real" texture loader should probably use libpng (http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html), interfacing to this native library is probably easier than doing all the decoding stuff by hand. Alas, AFAIK there is no Haskell binding for this library yet. Cheers, S.
