[Oberon] PO2013 - System.CloseTrack / System.ExtendDisplay

[Jörg]

Let‘s assume you made the following steps:
- open two files in the user track: viewer 1 and viewer 2
- System.Grow on viewer 2.
- Open an additional file: viewer 3

Now mark viewer3 and call System.CloseTrack
- It closes viewer 3 and grown viewer 2 and restores viewer 1 and 2
