Complaints welcome.

In the Oberon Mail viewer the source was peppered with blank lines. 
Assuming you didn't intend that, I removed them.  

Is there a convention for indentation?  Two blanks for each step? 
Four blanks for each step?  A tab character for each?  Entirely 
personal preference?

The compilation section now begins with sentences about overwriting
an object file.  https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon#Compilation
Your prefixing the module name with a context identifier might be the 
rule in the wikibook.  Some readers will claim it is unnecessary but 
it will deflect many from unintentional overwriting.  Can't please 
everyone.

Thanks,                 ... Lyall E.
