As has already been pointed out, Ada 83 did not really have this
capability.  However, there was (and still is) the VIRTUAL_TERMINAL package
that does.  I haven't ported it to Ada 95 myself, but it should not be
difficult.  It may even run without modification.  You can get it using
anonymous ftp from the Lower Panamint Valley server at Ridgecrest,
California.  FTP to

lo-pan.ridgecrest.ca.us

You will find it in 

pub/users/d/do_while/components/ada_in_action

Download all the files that begin with "aa10" because the VIRTUAL_TERMINAL
package is Ada in Action part 10.  VIRTUAL_TERMINAL depends upon
JONES_CONTROL_CODES, part number AA24, so you will have to download all
files beginning with "aa24" as well. 

[For those of you have downloaded some of my components before, you will
notice two differences in the location.  The Owens Valley server,
owens.ridgecrest.ca.us, has a brand new, improved operating system that
doesn't support anonymous ftp!  This capability will be restored soon, I'm
told, but for now you have to use lo-pan instead of owens.  Notice
there is now a "/d/" in the path.  The user directory got too large, and
had to be segmented.]

You are invited to snoop around and take anything you want from my public 
directory.
