Did that. Couldn't figure it out.

Oh! Duh! It's not URI_Pkg.Append. It's URI_Pkg.URI_List_Pkg.Append.

Adding "use URI_Pkg.URI_List_Pkg" fixes it.

(Incidentally, this is for the unit-test code for a
first-one-to-throw-away project, while I'm learning Ada, so the over-use
of "use" isn't as bad as it might be.)


Thanks! I can't believe I spent two days trying to figure that one out.
