In Ada 2005, you'll be able to put the strings on the indefinite list
standard container:

package String_Lists is
   new Ada.Containers.Indefinite_Doubly_Linked_Lists (String);

use String_Lists;

procedure Op (L : in out List) is
begin
   L.Append ("Hello, World");
   Replace_Element (Last (L), "Goodbye, World");
end;

No pointers required...
