What probably happens is that the text in the "Put" call stays in some 
system or I/O buffer and is not displayed.

Try adding the call Ada.Text_IO.Flush between the Put and the Get. That 
should flush out and display the buffered text. Or you can change the 
Put to a Put_Line, but of course the effect on the screen is a bit 
different.
