Can anyone help me with this problem I have please?

I'm instantiating a generic package Set_Class from within another package. I
instantiate the package as WordSet, and this means a resulting type that I
need to use is WordSet.Set. However, I want to be able to reference this
type under another name from outside the package (I want to call it
Dictionary).

I think I'm supposed to just use a subtype order (subtype Dictionary is
WordSet.Set), however I'm keeping the instantiation of the package private,
which means I can't do this unless I put the subtype order after the
instantiation (which would place it inside the private area and it doesn't
like that).

So can anyone tell me a way of renaming a private type, inside a package?
That would be really good.

So far the only way it's worked is to take everything out of private but
this is not how I need it.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Bob
