FilePath is abstract, you use "File name: 'aaa'" or "'xxx' asFile" or 
"File path: 'bbb'".

The difference between #name: and the others is that #name: forces the 
File to be on an absolute path.  Example:

Directory working: '/usr/bin'.
a := File name: 'gst'.   " ==> <File /usr/bin/gst>"
b := File path: 'gst'.   " ==> <File gst>
Directory working: Directory home.
a size printNl.
b size printNl.  "No such flie or directory"
