Well, I don't do any "command-line" type interface at all;
my programs are just as Mac'ish as they can be.  I have been
able to add some new stuff such as script manager unit using
Apple's supplement files without any modification.  

If all you have is a MacPlus/SE without a hard disk, then
I think Turbo is a good development environment.  There are
many students out here who can't afford the luxury of a 32-bit
QD Mac which can cost many times their tuition.
