It would seem that I did not make my problem clear. I do not want to
have entries look like procedures; I want entries to look like entries.
Entries are callable with protections from infinite delays. Procedures
are not. Try using a 
          select
             MIGHT_BE_AN_ENTRY;
          or
             delay 1.0;
          end select;
The problem arose when the task containing the entry was not in the
correct mode to accept the call. There is no way for the generic to
wait some amount of time for the call to be accepted, and get control
back if it is not.
Sorry about the delay on this, but I went on vacation for two weeks.
