Perhaps I should have explained that, it is currently launched from a 
DOS bat file and it is the bat file that is launched from the command 
line. Is a bat file an "executable"?

viz.
:begin
pause
CD C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Ada\Sudoku_2\
Sudoku_check.exe
goto begin

In other words the original program is little more than a quick and 
dirty fix that has the complete file paths of input file and output file 
set in concrete.

A cleaner version would have those paths de-coupled. They would have 
default values that, if necessary, could be changed by a Windows 
dialogue. If I understand things correctly, that would require an 
interface to Windows.

I seem to remember hearing about a simplified interface for student use 
(Brighton?).
