What this means is that the compiler has interpreted the last line
of a do expression to be a generator (i.e. pat <- exp), which is
bad Haskell.

In your case, here is main:

> main=do userText<-getText

Occasionally, this may be caused by offside errors:

	main = do foo <- bar
                return foo
                ^ offside error, Haskell interprets this as not being
                  part of the do expression
