I just figured out I was entering the input string in quotes.<br><br>So, I suppose the answer to my question is yes, type CAN be changed along a >>= chain. I was having trouble doing it in a different problem, created this small example to illustrate the problem, and then screwed it up putting quotes around my input string.<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>Michael<br><br>--- On <b>Mon, 10/12/09, Niklas Broberg <i><niklas.broberg@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: Niklas Broberg <niklas.broberg@gmail.com><br>Subject: Re: [Haskell-cafe] Can type be changed along a >>= chain?<br>To: "michael rice" <nowgate@yahoo.com><br>Cc: haskell-cafe@haskell.org<br>Date: Monday, October 12, 2009, 12:43 PM<br><br><div id="yiv1016279314">On Mon, Oct 12,
