referencing externally declared signals in a package

[mmz28]

How do I tell the compiler that the signals/ports reffered to in the
procedures within a package are declared outside the package ?

Signals can only be driven by a process.

A packaged procedure is called from a process
and has signal identifiers passed to it.

A procedure declared in process scope
has direct access.
