[gtkada] getting info from an editable text field

[caleb baker]

that link doesn't seem to work. it uses a widget called entry, but i can't 
seem to find or use it.
it just says that it can't find Gtk_entry_new_with_max_length, i tried
Gtk.entry.new_with_max_length but there is no library file called this and 
it says that entry is a reseved word, how do i overcome this?
there is a widget called editable, is it the same? and how do i initially 
create one cos there doesn't seem to be a function called Gtk_New to create 
one

thanks
caleb baker
