I'm not very familiar with entry families, but as I understand Barnes
text book it gives this example:

entry E (for P in Id) when Barrier_Condition(P) is
   begin
      --  do your thing
   end E;

so when you write "when True" it will always do the code block. But I'm
not sure, you better look up in your text book or wait for the gurus to
clear it up :-)
