That's a hold over from the days when the macintosh introduced alias  
files and the Squeak VM
didn't know what to do with them. However that issue was fixed years  
ago and most folks should
use one source file and a dozen or more alias links to that file from  
various squeak image folders.

Perhaps you could change it to display what the current path is and an  
explaination that we
couldn't open and use the file, perhaps it has a permissions problem or  
it's not a squeak source file?
