[Haskell-beginners] A basic misunderstanding of how to program with IO

[Ken Overton]

Sorry for such a beginner-y question, but is there a way to make a function like:

    interact :: String -> Resp
    interact txt =
		putStrLn txt
		rsp <- getLine
		return parseResp rsp

    parseResp :: String -> Resp

Or is that simply a wrong way of programming in Haskell with IO?

Thanks (and apologies),
