Re: functions, packages & characters

It appears that you really need to get a bit more formal training regarding
the structure of Ada programs. A good place to start would be to go to:
http://www.adapower.com/ and look under "Books" and "Learn Ada" (The latter
will point you at on line tutorials and books so you don't even have to
spend money or wait for something to come in from the bookstore.) Try
working through one of these books and their examples, because it will clear
up the fundamental misunderstandings you have about how to structure the
code. From there we can be a *lot* more helpful with specific questions
about individual features of the language.
