But recompiling gives an error:

xmonad.hs:3:5: parse error on input `import'

What's above that?

If you're indenting all of your definitions, you need to indent the "import XMonad" line as well.

Thank you - I am (Obviously!) completely ignorant of Haskell. I just copied the example "as is". I changed the indentation of the import lines but now I get errors lower down in the script, e.g. xmonad.hs:8:9: parse error on input `mylayoutHook' I think this is something to do with indentation too, because changing it gives different errors. But in spite of fiddling I can't get it to work. Perhaps I'd better give up unless/until I learn some Haskell. -- Anthony Campbell - ac@acampbell.org.uk Microsoft-free zone - Using Debian GNU/Linux http://www.acampbell.org.uk - sample my ebooks at http://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/acampbell
