Thanks Tom and Matthew for replying to my message.
	I apologize for being so unclear the first time, I will now try to
redeem myself.
	
	In my first example:

with Ada.Text_Io, Ada.Integer_Text_Io; 
use Ada.Text_Io,  Ada.Integer_Text_Io;
...
number, number2: integer; name: string (1..50);
...
begin
        get_line(name, number2);
        ...
        get(number); ...
end xx;

	In this situation, everything works fine, i.e., I get a first prompt in
my window where I just enter a string, after pressing "return" I get a
second prompt for an integer and all is well. My problem is when I need
to invert the "get" and "get_line" like so:
...
begin
        get(number);
        ...
        get_line(name, number2); ...
end xx; 

	At the first prompt I enter an integer and as soon as I hit the return
key, it skips over the "get_line" command and doesn't prompt me to enter
a string.  I get no error from the "get_line" command.  I do get an
error when I want to use the content of the "name" variable (e.g.,
openning a file), but if I don't use the "name" variable after the
"get_line", I get no error whatsoever.  During my troubleshooting, I
checked the contents of "name" before and after the "get_line" command
and it remains unchanged (i.e. just junk). (I'm using GNAT on Win-95.)

	I hope that I was a little clearer and that my explanation makes sense.

Again thanks for your help. JOhn
