Mike, you asked

<<I need to declare a record which has "file" scope.  This would be
something that every unit within this file could access, but could
not be accessed from any unit outside of this file.

Any ideas???

thanks in advance>>

Sounds like you need to do some basic reading in Ada structuring and
visibility, since this is an extremely elementary question. The important
thing is not just to get an answer to your question (which is simple, 
just define a variable at the level of the package body), but rather
to understand the general mechanisms, since Ada is MUCH mor powerful
than C in this area, so you want to go much beyond just duplicating
C faclities.
