Obviously, just correcting it like you > did would've been enough. I disagree. These are mostly extremely basic questions that the OP would not be asking if he'd looked at any text or worked through any tutorial. Given the number of texts and tutorials available on line through adapower.com and adaworld.com, I don't think it's a good idea to answer these questions, as it only encourages more. While I'm all for encouraging people to learn Ada, I'm not in favor of teaching it through posts and responses on c.l.a. I'm perfectly willing to answer questions from someone who's made the effort to learn the basics. -- Jeff Carter "Spam! Spam! Spam! Spam! Spam! Spam! Spam! Spam!" Monty Python's Flying Circus 53
