I have recently installed gnat 1.82 on the local unix machine and
want to get the emacs-ada-mode working but I am having some problems.
When trying to get the ada-mode working, the instructions are:
"Put the ada-mode.el file in your load-path (for .el files) and
optionally byte compile it."
What does it mean about "load path"?
Thanks in advance, and I hope that this will solve some of my
problems.

the load path is the path where Emacs looks for input files. The online
documentation (C-h v load-path) gives (for me):
load-path's value is ("/u3/rolf/unix/elisp" "/u3/rolf/unix/elisp/devel" "/u7/rolf/gnu/lib/emacs/site-lisp" "/u7/rolf/gnu/lib/emacs/19.26/lisp")
Documentation:
*List of directories to search for files to load.
Each element is a string (directory name) or nil (try default directory).
Initialized based on EMACSLOADPATH environment variable, if any,
otherwise to default specified by file `paths.h' when Emacs was built.
You can add your personal extensions to Emacs with the following lines
in your .emacs:
(defun add-to-load-path (directory-list)
(mapcar (function (lambda (directory)
(or (member directory load-path)
(setq load-path (cons directory load-path)))))
directory-list))
;(add-to-load-path (list "/path/one"
; "/path/two"
; "/blah/blah/blah"))
(add-to-load-path (list (expand-file-name "~/elisp")
(expand-file-name "~/elisp/devel"))
This adds the 2 directories to the load-path. Put there your newly purchased
ada-mode.el and it should work now.
Mail me if you still have problems.
