Part of one of the requirements is that I obtain an Element_List from the environment but I find only two functions that return Element_Lists and they are not the methods I wish. I have searched with Grep for functions that return Element_Lists, is there a procedure that takes an Element_List and fills it with the associated elements from the environment so that I can analyzed the elements of the array? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, John" Perhaps if you check the ASIS documentation (270 Francs from ISO, HTTP://WWW.ISO.Ch/iso/en/CatalogueDetailPage.CatalogueDetail?CSNUMBER=27169&ICS1=35&ICS2=60&ICS3= ) the functionality you require may be found. Otherwise you could join and ask on the technical ASIS email list instead of asking on this Ada (as in Ada itself) forum. In April and May, it was commented on the list that ASIS is too low-level, and it is advisable to consolidate libraries built on top of ASIS for higher level requests. Dubbed "secondary libraries" you can find an explanation at HTTP://WWW.ACM.org/sigada/WG/asiswg/ASISWG_Results.html#Secondary_Library but alas there is no archive to the mailing list unless you were already subscribed. Some such libraries include http://home.attbi.com/~kweb/ASIS/asis.html and HTTP://WWW.ACM.org/sigada/WG/asiswg/ASIS_Clients.html#Blake . Regards.
