You are right, it is syntactically correct in Ada 95 to write identifiers using acute vowels. I don't pretend to excuse myself but I made the transition from Ada 83 to 95 and I skipped the first two chapters of the LRM. By the way, what I read, for general syntax subjects is the ANSI/MIL STD 1815 from "Ada Compilers and Bibliography" (Cambridge University Press). I feel sorry for open an issue that only shows my ignorance. Next time I will think before write. Thank you, Antonio Duran
