I know, that's pretty rare and maybe not doable, but is a question that comes to my mind. > you get an executable with the intended behavior. I am sure that pragma > Polling would also work too.

It took a whole 30 seconds to do. It's not stated. It's stated that without -gnatP, it doesn't work, and with it it inserts calls to the polling function under several cases (enough cases, I could agree). -- ------------------------- Jano 402450.at.cepsz.unizar.es -------------------------
