You don't need the IO monad to achieve pseudy-randomness. Why not use 'randoms' from System.Random (or 'randomRs' for a range). take 10 $ (randomRs (1,6) (mkStdGen 1)) :: [Int] You can use the IO monad to get a randomly seeded generator from the outside, but once seeded, just use the list. gen <- newStdGen take 10 $ (randomRs (1,6) gen) :: [Int] Dave _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
