Hi,

I'm a beginner in Ada my progs should run either on PC (Windows 95, Gnat
3.10, ANSI.SYS loaded) and Sun Workstations (Solaris, Gnat compiler).

My problem is the following: when I use Get_Imediate(Standard_Input,
Identifier), in order to get a character form the user, the character stay
in the In Buffer, it has no effect in Xterm, but in my DOS windows, when I
use a put and get instruction, the previous character is writen on the line.
I tried to use Skip_Line(Standard_Input), but I must press the return touch
(End_Of_Line), in order to continue the execution of my prog.

So I'm wondering, if there is a method to clear the In_Buffer.

I would appreciate an e-mail during the week at: crathgeb@dico.epfl.ch.net
(remove the ".net" to reply)
or during the weekend at: shark@infomaniak.ch.net (remove the ".net" to
reply)

Et si la r�ponse est en fran�ais c'est encore mieux ;-)
