I posted a question here a few days ago about Ada TYPEs, but it seems
many people didn't understand the actual problem I was having.
I have since then found the answer that I needed (but not wanted)

what I originally asked was (is there any way to do this)

make a type definition that looks something like this:

type X is (array, .....)

i was not trying to define something of an array.  What I wanted
was a new type "X" that could take on a value "array" or whatever
else is in the list. But the problem was that array is a keyword
(reserved) therefore I couldn't do what I wanted, the only alternative
that I have been able to come up with is:

defining X as an array of string
x(1):= "array     "
x(2):= "whatever  "
.
.
.

Thanks for all of the responses!

Just thought I would clear up some of the confusion to my original 
question
