In this paper we describe how existing interactive tools can be integrated using Concurrent Haskell and synchronous events. The base technology is a higher-order approach to concurrency as in CML extended with a framework for handling external events of the environment. These events are represented as first class synchronous events to achieve a uniform, composable approach to event handling. Adaptors are interposed between the external event sources and the internal set of listening agents to achieve this degree of abstraction. A substantially improved integration framework compared to existing technology (such as for example the combination of Tcl/Tk with expect) is then provided. With this basis it is for example possible to wrap a GUI around the hugs interpreter with very little work required.
