If you're not obtaining data from a file, you have to know where you're getting it from and how that data source works. If you don't know that, we can't help you. The keyboard is a file called Standard_Input in Ada, so it's not necessary to distinguish between files and the keyboard unless you're discussing some of the subtle distinctions in how they are used. -- Jeff Carter "If I could find a sheriff who so offends the citizens of Rock Ridge that his very appearance would drive them out of town ... but where would I find such a man?
