As you found out, this was in fact a bug in the Perl script that builds the
reference manual from the sources. It did not recognize that Get_Chars was
a function, and not a procedure.
We have now fixed that script in the development version of GtkAda.

When in doubt, you should always look at the include/gtkada directory, which
contains all the .ads files. All the reference manual is automatically build
from these, so they contain exactly the same information as the reference
manual.
