Watson cannot know about *pseudo-modules* like SYSTEM whose only manifestation is within the Oberon compiler itself. It can only report the information for normal external modules if a 'symbol file' is available for that module. 

NOTE: Watson is not available on all versions of Oberon. It is useful when it is available but you should not depend on its existence.
