Then you've never used Turbo Pascal. :-) For packages, this could be made better. Most of the time I don't think=20 "I want a package in the Ada hierarchy, but which one?" I think "I need=20 to write integers to text files. What is the name again? Is it=20 Integer_Text_IO? Text_Integer_IO? Text_IO.Integer_IO? IO.Text.Integers?=20 Is it in the Ada hierarchy or not?" So what would be really useful would = be a search function that I could invoke with a key press, type "text=20 integer", and get Ada.Integer_Text_IO and Ada.Text_IO.Integer_IO as=20 matches, with different icons or colours to distinguish subpackage from=20 child package and generic from nongeneric. > Some_Variable : My_Package. <- A list of types, procedures, etc. > from My_Package should pop up here. Since clearly only a type can fit here, only types should be shown. --=20 Bj=F6rn Persson PGP key A88682FD omb jor ers @sv ge. r o.b n.p son eri nu
