Re: Newbie Visibility Problem TEXT_IO.INTEGER_IO

Hi Simon:

Thanks for the response. I tried to use your suggestion, but I still 
could not build the app. However, I considered your thought on visibility:

<snip>

I added the lines:

with Ada;
use Ada;

to make the contents of Ada (i.e Text_IO) visible. This works as I 
expected. This does not seem like the best way to resolve the problem, 
but I am less than two days into learning about Ada, so I will reserve 
final judgment until my understanding of the syntax improves.

Thanks again for the help Simon. I appreciate the quick response.
