  Perhaps you want an array
    File_List : array(1 .. 10) of File_Type;
    ...
    Open(File_List(3), ...
Or perhaps you are thinking of some systems' (eg DOS) small integer
file handles - 0=stdin, 1=stdout, 2=stderr, 3=aux, 4=prn? Ada.Text_IO
has routines to convert the first three to File_Type:
  function Standard_Input return File_Type;
  function Standard_Output return File_Type;
  function Standard_Error return File_Type;
