You had got it already, I think. Here is LRM 3.6.2:

7     A'Range A'Range is equivalent to the range A'First .. A'Last,
              except that the prefix A is only evaluated once.

Equivalent also means that you can write, in source, A'Range(n)
wherever you could equivalently write A'First(n) .. A'Last(n).
Consider writing

 Put (A'First(1) .. A'Last(1));

in source. But this has no meaning as a parameter to Put.

One way is to Put("..") between Put(A'First(1)) and Put(A'Last(1));
