Hi Rob,

I suspect the reason you cannot put an accept statement in a procedure reflects
the problem of ownership; i.e. if I place an accept statement of an entry
in procedure, what task does this entry belong to?  Also, from the perspective
of scoping, you are required to declare a body in the same scope as its
corresponding declaration. Since the accept statement is essentially the
"body" of an entry, you must declare it in the same scope as the entry declar-
ation (e.g., the task body).

See you in Seattle!

Take Care,
Ed Colbert
