Hi,
PrelBase will do it, but the "official" gateway interface to the
Glasgow extensions is now GlaExts, so I'd recommend using that
instead. We'll promise (well, almost :-) not to rename or move
this rag bag interface.

Will do - the state interface doc has been folded into the user's
guide (and pieces of it has been updated to reflect the current state
of play..)
The 2.03 user's guide documents GlaExts plus a couple of other
GHC specific interfaces (MutVar, Foreign, ByteArray etc.)
