Thank you - I am (Obviously!) completely ignorant of Haskell. I just
copied the example "as is".

I changed the indentation of the import lines but now I get errors lower
down in the script, e.g.

xmonad.hs:8:9: parse error on input `mylayoutHook'

I think this is something to do with indentation too, because changing
it gives different errors. But in spite of fiddling I can't get it to
work. Perhaps I'd better give up unless/until I learn some Haskell.
