I think if you look at it in context of the entire Oberon operating environment, it makes a certain amount of sense. While everything is written in Oberon, it seems to me that the average user would essentially be using oberon for roughly what shell scripts and AppleScript is used for: I.e. for writing little commandlets that automate frequently used functionality.

Basically modules are loaded dynamically and any procedure that obeys to a specific signature could be called from the UI, via keyboard and mouse like the ACME editor on Plan 9. The way they get their input, depends on the signature. It could be like command line parameters, clipboard, or any selected UI element in another application.
