>> gnat make use_of_import.adb

  should of been

    gnat compile use_of_import.adb

which is the best way to learn Ada because one reason there are other Ada 
systems out there  And newbees need to know they must compile then bind 
and finally link a program or library, unlike other languages. Plus the options 
can and do change from time to time that may interfer with the standard 
usage of "gnat make".  

  And I was being nice and said the second way was quicky, actually its 
the LAZY way!
