Ah. Yes. You need to run the "define-key" line after ada-mode is
loaded, so it is run _after_ the default ada-mode key bindings.

You do this by using eval-after-load:

(eval-after-load "ada-mode" '(load "ada-mode-keys"))

Then put your key bindings in the file ada-mode-keys.el. Make sure
this file is in a directory on load-path.

Hmm. I don't know where that message is comming from.

Yes, C-g is _always_ "abort key sequence"; you cannot use C-g in any
key sequence.

Yes. Emacs can be very confusing and frustrating, until you get used
to it.

Since we have drifted far from Ada, I suggest we take this off line;
email me directly.
