I always thought that I/O was part of Wirth's _suggested_ library and not
part of the standard (if there is one). I feel that something so fundamental 
should have had a higher status than that, however, I quite like these 
abbreviations.

Anyway, a later suggestion of Wirth's, is to allow alias declarations and
JPI allows this. So, if you don't like the abbreviations you can always
have WriteLn as an alias for WrLn. (I always put in colour as an alias
for color, and grey for gray - otherwise my programs _never_ compile [I
hate programming in a foreign language (:-)]).
