Thanks.  That makes perfect sense.

ETH Oberon and the A2O here.  Streams lacks a Seek procedure.

One further oddity: this Oberon has the procedure name OpenFileWriter 
but returns a stream rather than a FileStream.

(** Opens a stream writing on file F starting at postion pos. *)
	PROCEDURE OpenFileWriter*(F: Files.File; pos: SIGNED32): Stream;

Why not make it return a FileStream rather than a Stream?  That would 
allow changing the rider.

Thx,                            ... P. L.
