You always execute Get or Put. Select accepts only one alternative. If more
than one alternatives are open and have tasks awaiting, select chooses one
of them, just one.

Normally select is placed in an enclosing loop:

   loop
      select
         accept This;
      or
         accept That;
      or
         terminate;
      end select;
   end loop;

Once an alternative is selected and serviced the loop reiterates the select
statement and the next alternative is selected.
