[Oberon] Need V4 Code for trivial task.

[Douglas G Danforth]

Chris,
I did as you said and that works.

My confusion stems from a difference between V4 and Component Pascal.
A Component Pascal CHAR is 2 bytes. One must say SHORTCHAR to get 1 byte.
Also I didn't think the compiler would accept (if I had thought of it) a 
CHAR
where it specifies a SYSTEM.BYTE.  Why in heavens name does V4 Files even
mention SYSTEM.BYTE?
