Hello:
  Is there any library to control display cursor etc, that has become
an standard "de facto" in Ada 95?.

I'm a newbie in Ada, but I think it's strange that Ada RM, that covers
a lot of stuff, doesn't have a screen/cursor/keyboard standard spec.
the user interface in Ada 95 is sad (well, I would say missing).

I know there are a lot of terminals, and depends a lot upon hardware.
But the first Ada was born in 1983, not in 1960, terminals were then
an important part of computers world. I don't mean Ada should have a
full GUI, but at least a "clear screen", and "set cursor position"
procedure. Or was the main goal of Ada embedded systems?
