Re: Renaming entries?

Well, who designed this stupid language anyway?

;-)

Just to illustrate what David suggests, although you probably are fully
aware, you put

   procedure Fred;

in the package specification, and then

   procedure Fred is
   begin
      Foo.Jim;
   end;

in the package body. This is effectively a kind of 'trampoline' (I think!).
Actually, it might be better termed a 'thunk' (I think!!), especially if it
involves parameters.
