[Haskell-beginners] Monads...

[Cory Knapp]

Hello, so, I'm having a simple problem with monads: I have no idea how 
to actually use them. I understand the category theory (or, at least 
well enough to be able to explain "what is a monad"); I understand the 
way to declare something as a monad instance, but I just don't get how 
to program with them. Can anyone provide me with, or direct me towards, 
some simple monads and some ways of using (for example) the monadic 
properties of lists?

Thanks,
Cory
