In response to the help that I recieved here, thank you it is much 
appreciated for the diversment in ways to look at the problem I had. 
To these comments about helping students and reading the LRM and reference 
manual:
	Due to my teacher's lack of availability and the few people that I can 
find on campus that know ada, my resources here are not very exstenive. I use 
them when I can but they are rarely available. I did look through the LRM, the 
reference manual, the Rationale and numerous tutorials. I don't have the money 
to buy a manual on Ada. In the end the solution was simple, I should have seen 
it earlier. I did spend 8 - 9 hours working around the problem, the longer I 
worked on it, the farther away from the solution I got until I was utterly lost 
and frustrated. That is why I posted a request for help in this newsgroup. My 
apologies to those who found my request unfounded and irritable.
