Yes, in fact an interesting thing is when you start squeak it hunts 
for the changes and source file by getting the directory contents. 
Fine if those are the only files there, unfine if you've dumped 3 
thousand files into your squeak directory for some odd reason.

Tho I think we could change that code to hunt and open as an oldfile. 
But you are right having a fileExists: call that actually hunts in a 
minimal cost manner would be good.

FileCopy too?
