Hi all!

Ive times ago written a aplication in Pascal object V7.00 ,then C++;
i would like to write the same application on a Vax/VMS operating system.The troouble is im totally new to ADA !!!
Actually ive started implementing my working library packages (almost generic methods) but there are still 2 functions i cn't figure out how to write:

1) a function returning the position (X,Y) of the cursor ( a kind of 
  WhereX,WhereY in pascal)

2) a function returning the attributes of a character on screen;that is:

*the actual character:{ a..z } or {A..Z}
*the text color: color used to write character
* the text background color: color of the background the character was written on


Please notice this is no assignment ! 8^}
ANY help,comment,proposal,suggestion or else ( code???) will be
GREATLY!!!!! appreciated ! ;-}
Also for people using VMS, i might ftp them the binary when done for beta testing if they are interested.
