Check out the package Ada.Text_IO in ARM A.10. You might be interested
in Skip_Line and Get_Immediate.

You should definitly read an Ada text book :) Just look for Get_Immediate in
Ada.Text_IO.

If you want your program to wait until the user is ready to continue
you must interact with the user. This is typically done by waiting for
input from the user.

If you want the user to press only one key, without requiring the
Enter key, use Get_Immediate.

If you design with Ada tasks, you can design so Get_Immediate is checking the
buffer, accepting a character, examining the character to see if you want to do
something with it, etc.
