By the subject line I mean:

Is there a way, in Ada to move memory around so to speak.

For instance, let's say I want to create an Array that would hold characters
with the goal to send it to the video card directly (address $B800).

Could I take an array of Characters, and "move it" to address $B800 ? or
something like it?
