[Haskell-beginners] Beginners issue with 'Why Haskell matters' example code

[Arlen Cuss]

Hi Michael,

Is line 6 the "    more = filter (>= x) xs" line? Try lining up the word
'more' with the word 'less' above it - and if you can't seem to get it
to work, try making sure you're using all spaces and not tabs to indent!

HTH,
Arlen
