Okay, from the above posts in this thread, I think I might be getting
somewhere.

I'm thinking my problem stems from understanding the difference between an
"Object" and a type. As I'm coming from a C background, Objects and
Classes are real fuzzy for me.

So if I say...

	type foo_array is array(1..N) of character;  

this would be an Object declaration.  Then I would instantiate it
thusly....

	bar_array :  foo_array;

correct?

However if I say...

	some_chars : array(1..N) of character;

this would be just a simple array declaration, with none of the Object
Oriented properties  carried along with it.

And with the Object "foo_array" declared above, I could say ...

	type Upper_Case is subtype foo_array;

and it should work?

Am I beginning to get the picture?
