Help for a novice?
Using Ada95 and the GW-Gnat compiler.
When trying to use New_Page as in
New_Page;
to simply refresh the screen in output of text to the screen all I'm
getting is a weird symbol, the control character that represents a page
terminator I guess. Does anyone know why and or if there is a specific way
it must be used or if it's inappropriate to do what I'm trying.
The LRM states that Get_Immediate can be used to get a character from the
keyboard immediately ie. without the enter key. But says should be used
with 'unbuffered' input. Are there any references or suggestions as to
how to do low_level IO or 'unbuffered' input to do this. End goal to have
something like the well known 'hit any key to continue'.
