That's the problem, but it's not the solution.

In the previously posted program, Command is an object of an enumeration
type.  There is no Get_Line procedure for enumeration types (though it
wouldn't be difficult to write one).

Take a look at the original program and consider exactly what happens
if the statement Get(Command) raises an exception.

The solution, of course, is left as an exercise for the student.

(I welcome e-mail feedback from educators on whether this is the right
level of response for this kind of question.)
