  So you not only want time-slicing, you want it to occur during the two
'Put_Line("a");'s, but not during the 'Put_Line("B");'s, in fact after the
'a' has been output and before the crlf, and you want Text_IO to be
reentrant in the sense that two writes to the same file can interleave
without screwing up.  That's asking for quite a lot.
  As has been pointed out, if you want to control task switching you can
do it with "delay 0.0;" or other explicit task switching commands.  If
you leave it up to the particular OS on the particular computer on the
particular day running the particular load you happen to hit, you'll just
have to take whatever you get.
