[Haskell-beginners] In Search Of a clue... (Defining and making use of a type)

Hi Allen,

   sc1 = ScrConfig [s2, s1]

 > main = putStrLn $ show sc1[1]

   main = putStrLn $ show sc1

To print just parts of a ScrConfig you'll probably want a helper 
function. Maybe something like:

   scPrint (ScrConfig sus) nth = show (sus !! nth)

(it will make problems on out-of-bounds-indexes!)

HTH,
Thomas
