ABSTRACT	. Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are hard to combine with functional programming. Using a suitable combination of monads, we are able to tame the imperative aspects of graphical I/O in a straightforward and elegant way. We present a concept to integrate lightweight GUIs into the functional framework, together with a library of basic functions and layout combinators to manipulate the GUI. An implementation of this library, using a set of high-level graphical I/O routines, is outlined. Examples demonstrate the simple way in which applications can be written. 1 Introduction Everybody wants to use graphical user interfaces. And everybody wants to use functional programming languages. Unfortunately, these concepts are hard to combine: I/O, and graphical I/O in particular, is imperative in nature, and thus contradictory to the functional paradigm. Our goal is to reconcile these two concepts, by developing a framework in which a functional programmer smoothly can provide his program with a...	user correction - Legacy Corrections
