Oops!  Open my  mouth and  insert foot.   I shouldn't have  even  suggested
this.  The Alsys compiler doesn't do pragma INTERFACE  to TP (or any Pascal
for that matter).  But there are Ada solutions to writing to the printer.  

I'm not sure about reading  from the keyword.  Easy  things can be  done by
TEXT_IO.GET[_LINE].  Single character I/O and  special character I/O may be
a bit more tricky.   Check  you Ada manuals first  before trying to  pragma
INTERFACE.
