Subject: How to get a character?

Message-ID: <370EE07D.67C71458@dave-world.net> (raw)

I was wondering if there was a way to get a character in Ada from the
user such as the getchar() function that can be used in C.  I'm trying
to add a stop after displaying some information to the screen so the
user can press any key to continue with the program.  I used the
Text_IO.Get() function but that didn't seem to work very well.

I was also wondering if there was a way to format output to the screen
ala C which uses "\t" for a tab.

Thanks
-Ben
