Or you could make this 'access constant String' (not sure this is Ada
95, though)

and this would be 'aliased constant String'

or you could say 'array (1 .. 4) of access constant String' and do away
with type String_Pointer.

In any case Prompt_Table can be 'constant array'.

I believe that GNAT has special circuitry to place all these strings and
Prompt_Table in ROM (i.e. no need for elaboration).
