My preferred method is to open the file of plaintext initially in a word pr= ocessor for formatting and then copy =91n paste that file into the AdaGIDE = editor for saving into the main folder from where it can be called for encr= yption into ciphertext by the Ada-95 program. I would like to be able to say that any file elsewhere on the computer can = be called directly also without going through this intermediate step of pas= sing through the editor but I am not sure if that can be done and if so wha= t is the exact instruction to key in to tell the program where to go to fin= d it. I think there is a long =91path=92 to be defined to the encryption program = on where to go to fetch the file of plaintext. Any help would be greatly appreciated =96 even a guess would help. adacrypt
