Without caring or trying to figure out why,
to answer what I think your question is:

with Ada.Characters.Handling;  use Ada.Characters.Handling;

procedure Xyz is

  opt_is : character := ' ';

begin

  opt_is := To_Upper(opt_is);
  while opt_is /= 'V' and then opt_is /= 'A' loop
    Put( opt_prompt );
    NEW_LINE;
    Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line( "Please enter either a 'V' or an 'A' );
    Get( opt_is );
  end loop;

end Xyz;

I'm definitely gonna check it out, in addition to the www.mcondic.com
website mentioned in another post.

Now I have a quick question. I'm using a loop to test for the existence
of a certain variable, but I'm not quite sure how to go about it.  Heres
what it looks like right now...

while opt_is not 'V' or 'A' loop
	Put( opt_prompt );
	NEW_LINE;
	Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line( "Please enter either a 'V' or an 'A' );
	Get( opt_is );
end loop;

Now, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing at the start of the loop.
 Any help woiuld be appreciated.

Thanks.
