It uses the Popups.Tool from Native Oberon, which includes all the usual 
functionality in a single tool with popup menus.

Not sure what you mean.

Edit.Open is there for "backward compatibility", since some people 
wanted it.  Personally, I would (almost) never use it.  Exceptions are 
in very low-memory environments, which don't really exist any more :-)

Hint: Execute the following command from the end of System.Tool:
   Configuration.DoText LoadGadgets.Text

This loads a slightly more friendly environment.  The same holds for 
Native Oberon, if you have Gadgets installed.  Then MM+MR on the log 
will also open a friendlier editor.
