[Oberon] A path variable for OLR?

Hello Peter M.,

Native Oberon recognizes multiple storage parts and a priority
order.  Thus SYS:System.Tool and HOME:System.Tool can
exist.  As the system is installed, SYS is the default and
System.Tool means SYS:System.Tool.  If the default is set to
HOME, then System.Tool means HOME:System.Tool.

I wonder whether you might consider adding such a capability
to OLR.  A variable such as OPATH for example.  Following
OPATH=/home/peter/usbstick ; export OPATH
System.Tool would mean /home/peter/usbstick/System.Tool
rather than /home/peter/olr/System.Tool.

Is there a better idea?

Thanks,                ... Lyall E.
