[Oberon] A path variable for OLR?

[eas lab]

Re. file tree [paths].
Apparently N-O took the minimalist approach: a flat file-space; which was good
minimalism. Adding a level of partitions was a clever method of keeping the
original minimalism, and yet drastically increase the capability.

I don't know how much Linux-based-oberon needed to modify/extend N-O,
in order to have easy/immediate access to the global-file-tree; but
the restrictions
of LNO/OLR are uncomfortable once you are used to being able to read/write
anywhere DIRECTLY, by just specifying the path - rather than first setting a
<link> to the target file.

OTOH perhaps a little shell-script could automate this?
In pseudo-code:
 SetSymLink(PathFile, Name);
 ln -s $PathFile $Name

So after 'doing' ln -s /mnt/Toshi/ETHO/fruit/prices  FruitPrices
the user could read/write via: Edit.Open FruitPrices

I guess?

Perhaps have tables of sym-links that could be <slotted in/out> for
the various projects. Ie.. you don't fetch the files to LNO/OLR's home-dir;
instead, you access the files via their conveniently chosen names .
