This should *not* display anything. Look at the types! displayFile1
returns a value that is the "displaying action". It does not "run"
it.
Replace "liftM" with "(=<<)" or use "join displayFile1" if you want to
run the displaying action.

>> contents = readFile "DisplayFile.lhs"

> This should display the contents of a file, but nothing appears.
