That's because on the Newton, data is saved in "soup", which is a unique
storage approach. You don't have the notion of "file" on a Newton. A soup
could be thought as a database, where you have multiple records in it. As
opposed to a standard database, though, all records can have different
fields from each other. So, it's not always easy to look for something in
the Newton persistence subsystem...
