At the time, it was Active Oberon, working in the Oberon sub-system in A2.

Thanks.  Forgot about that.  Fixed in V5 using procedure 
variables.  https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Oberon/V5
Seems devious but it compiles.  Out.Open works but haven't tested

The first repair after moving into V5.

Made the Active Oberon procedures redunant to the Oberon-07
