Okay, it lists the version of xmonad as 0.8-1. I know I got the xmonad.hs file from somewhere on the xmonad website. In trying to track down where I found it, I found http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Config_archive/Template_xmonad.hs . I'm assuming this is where I got it. However, replacing my old file with this gives me new errors:
xmonad.hs:141:10: Not in scope: 'modifyGap'
xmonad.hs:141.38: Not in scope: 'XMonad.defaultGaps'
xmonad.hs:273:8: Not in scope: 'defaultGaps'
defaultGaps has been removed for a little while now. You should use ManageDocks instead, see http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Frequently_asked_questions#Make_space_... for more info.
I'm afraid I don't really know what "darcs" is. I see a xmonad-darcs listed in my repo, so perhaps I'll try that. Forgive me for being a dummy, but I'm trying to learn. Thanks for your help!
darcs is the version control system used by xmonad, thus xmonad-darcs represents the most current code. see http://darcs.net for more info if interested.
