The Prof. wants us to use Ada to demonstrate some things, like the ambiguity of the IF THEN IF ELSE ENDIF statement. I have down loaded Object Ada 7.1 from Aonix. It seems way cool but it doesn't have the help setup to make it easy to find language components. I have experience with C and all the C IDEs that I have used would let you look up commands with the help. For example in C I can do a search in help for strstr and come up with an explanation of the function and an example. I can't seem to find this anywhere in the help with object ada or on line. I had to trace through the BNF to find out that the else if clause is elsif, what a pain. I have found a function Is_In but it takes a character set as an argument. I have been unable to locate how to define a character set. Could someone point me in the right direction so that my life will be a little easier. TIA
