I don't understand what you're trying to do. How do you fill Text and
how does it get control characters in it? What character do you mean by
NL? No such character is defined in Ada.Characters.Latin_1. Ada.Text_IO
line terminators are not defined by the language and differ from OS to
OS; on some systems a line terminator is a single character while on
others it is a sequence of characters.
