[Oberon] Re (2): ET.StoreAscii Native.Tool.txt

[Aubrey.McIntosh at Alumni.UTexas.Net]

In the mid 90s, I supervised a group that used Oberon.  They complained
about the interface.  I asked them, when they were using Windows, did they
try to use Oberon actions.  I suggested that when they tried to translate
Oberon actions to Windows but not the other way around, that said that
Oberon was the better design.
