Have you tried reading from Standard_In?  I think you just have to be
aware that and End_Error is temporary condition until the system can get
some more stuff buffered up.  I'm not sure, but I think we've got some
utilities at work that work that way.  Let me know if I'm wrong.  I'd
hate to be running around with that stuck in my head if its not right.
