My problem has become more acute. Till now I avoided the debugging 
option in the GNAT 2020 Community edition by badding print statements 
within the normal running program but now I have an error mentioned 
somewhere within the Ada. Unbounded_Strings which is used on a lot of 
positions in the program. The only way I know to detect wher the problem 
is is using the debug option with several brakpoints and as possible 
shifting these around to find this error but uding the debu option just 
makes the program coming to the "program does not react". So either this 
problem must be solved (who knows how) or an other compiler and debugger 
combination that really works (and is freeware) Who knows which and has 
a good tutorial how to install. Up to this moment with Visual Suodio I 
do not know how to do that.
