Oberon/F: Bug in ObxAscii

There is an apparent bug in the example code for "ObxAscii" published in 
the December issue of --The Oberon Tribune--.
In procedure "Register", the line reading:
      IF loc.res = 0 THEN v := TextViews.dir.New(t.scan.rider.Base());
should have:
    "t.form.rider" instead of "t.scan.rider".
I obtained the source code from the Web pages of Oberon microsystems. 
When I tried a test program with the original code, it aborted on the 
above line with:
    "NIL dereference (read)"
After making the above change, my test program worked.
