	Is there a question somewhere in this?

declaimed the following:

>I got a a Character variable gnat says it is a String, while functions taking it as parameter take only Characters. Mentions of the variable in the procedure: 
>C: Character := ''; -- strings are delimited by double quote character
>while C /= '' loop 
>        Get(C); PUSH(C); 
>end loop; 
>while (C /= '') loop -- same here        
>        Get(C); 
>        PUSH(C); 
>end loop;


	I see nothing wrong with the above. There are NO " characters in the
example. There are pairs of ' characters, which are used to delimit
CHARACTER -- which would be obvious by just stepping the cursor through
them.

	An empty string would be...		:= "";
