I shouldn't laugh. I'll probably make this mistake once, and hopefully ONLY once. Thanks Robert for the information! There is a lot there for me to investigate and learn! In my "learning session" today I noticed that a lot of the current Ada procedures and functions (dare I call them methods?) have those pesky '_'s in them. Any plans in Ada200x for case sensitivity? Maybe a command line flag if you want to have case sensitivity. The syntax could be less finger stretchy with all the '_'s and we could have toUnboundedString instead of to_unbounded_string. You could have x: Integer; and X: Integer;!! What a bonus right?! Just a thought. Thanks again for the help!
