Why? What's wrong?

How can I combine several function (calculations) in this function?

> main :: IO ()
> main = do input <- inputvalues
>           outputvalues (compute input)
>
> This should do what you want.

Thank's for your hints.

Can you give me an example how do to it with named fields?

Thanks
