Sorry, Michael, can't do this. The Ada83 LRM talks about line terminators and page
terminators, but does not specify what they are (or should be). Text_IO will
definitely *not* return them to you.

This is the preferred method. It is a function in Text_IO (i.e.,
Text_IO.End_of_Line). There's also a version that accepts a file parameter, in case
you're reading a real disk file and not from standard input. Check out Chapter 14
in the LRM.
