   There is no "official" (that is, LRM-specified) way to do this in
Ada.  It is, however, one of those things that could legally be
included in an implementation in an implementation-dependent way.
Two ways come to mind:
         1.  A form string parameter.
         2.  Ada "standard output" is defined in the LRM as never
             opened or closed explicitly by the programmer.  It sounds
             much the same as UNIX standard output and therefore could
             be appended in a UNIX system via ">>".
