In an other language I would use global variables for this. So what

you all the wrong things.)
You'll have to pass the values through, though this can be hidden to
some extent. Try changing your functions to have types
type Input = (Float, Float, ...)
type Output = (Float, Float, ...)
inputvalues :: IO Input -- add a "return (ve,de,...)" to the end
compute :: Input -> Output
outputvalues :: Output -> IO ()
You could then wrap them in
main :: IO ()
main = do input <- inputvalues
outputvalues (compute input)
This should do what you want.
It might be improved upon by using data types with appropriately named
fields instead of tuples so as to keep your variable names around.
