Hi, 
   I have the following problem...
Consider the following lines of code....

Option: Integer;
strName, strAddress: String(1..50);
length_In, length_In2: Integer;

Put_Line("Please enter an integer according to what you want to do");
Get(Option, 1);New_Line;

if (Option = 3) then
   Put_Line("Please enter your name");
   Get(strName, length_In); New_Line;
   Put_Line("Please enter your address");
   Get(strAddress, length_In2);
....

The problem is that after I put the integer in and push enter
(in response to the first question)  the next line is outputted
(Please enter your name) but then before I could enter the name, the
prompt for address is outputted, the get(strName..) is completely
skipped.  I have tried several things and can't get this to work. 
What am I doing wrong?? I'm thinking that the problem might be with
the get option, such that it is grabbing too many characters, b/c when
that line is commented out and i hardcord in the option number
everything works as it should. The problem is not w/ the New_Line
after the Get(strName...) I have tried playing around w/ this, its
omission makes no difference.


Example of output....
Please enter an option
3
Please enter your name        --wrong! i did not get to input the
name!!!
Please enter your address
