Are there any "guided" walkthroughs for someone who has never used Oberon (or any of its later versions like Bluebottle or A2) that demonstrate its most unique UI/UX aspects? Something along the lines of Russ Cox' Tour of the Acme Editor[0] but for Oberon?

Oberon seems fascinating and I would like to eventually play around with it in an emulator, but any resources that show how it's being used (as opposed to a description of its design like in Wirth's book for example) would be appreciated.

There is Wirth's 4 page guide, How to use the Oberon System

https://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/ProjectOberon/UsingOberon.p...

Also The Oberon Pi Quick Reference and System User Guide at this project page.

There's a lot of Oberon documentation on Wikibooks:
