> http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Direction_of_data_flow Very informative link, thanks. Fortunately the time when I was struggling with all that is gone; Even though right-to-left still isn't "natural" to me, I've now written enough haskell so that isn't a problem anymore. I don't even try to use >>> redefine a left-to-right composition operator in my programs, I'm converted ! My previous post was just me remembering my (past) problems with "." to answer Gregory's question.
