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.
