The syntax would be something a bit more like 
NewRec.Person_Name := aName;
(assuming aName is an 80 character string)

>NewRec := (aName, aAddr, aNum, aMail);
That'll work too (again, assuming all of your a* stuff are 80 character
strings).

You should really try to get hold of a decent Ada book. This is pretty basic
stuff, and I doubt you want to try to learn *all* the basics one question at a
time in newsgroups. (right?)
