I just installed Camllight and I encountered the problem as you. Because the type menu is just a shorter name for the complete type (string * string) list, you have to use: type menu == ( string * string ) list ;; (with two '=' signs) I don't know the exact rule about this. It might be close to the difference between 'type' and 'data' in Haskell. Good luck! -- _______ Raphaël _______________________________________________ Caml-list mailing list.
