Of course, I forgot the method to actually use state threaded code

stToSTT :: Monad m => ST s a -> STT s m a
stToSTT (ST m) = STT $ \s -> case m s of (# s',x #) -> return $ STTBox s' x

In re-reading my original email, I also thought I might not have been clear 
that I did write the instance methods (MonadCont, etc.), I just didn't include 
them as they would have made the email too lengthy.

Cheers!  -Tyson
