[Haskell-cafe] How to get subset of a list?

[Huazhi (Hank) Gong]

Thanks, it make sense here.
However, like I want to choose s[1,3,6,10] or something like this. Are there
some straightforward function or operator for doing this job? The !!
operator in haskell seems does not support multiple indecies.
