Re: Multiple entry tasks

Thanks for catching my typo with the missing "or" part.

I don't think this is a simple problem to solve. Almost anything one does to
fiddle with the availability of entries is going to make the complexity go
way up real fast. As you observe, it is a way of trying to prioritize the
entries. Ada would prefer it if you prioritized the tasks.

Cascading the selects is an interesting mechanism. I'm not sure there is any
answer that will be definitive. (Short of a language mod allowing one to
prioritize entries?) Maybe the real answer is to divide the entries up into
individual tasks and assign priorities? (This is, of course, a structural
change that gets away from the original question.)
