TML Pascal had an option called "TextBook." This allowed one to use the Mac
like an interactive dumb terminal so one could use the Pascal I/O from textbooks
with no modifications. I believe that Think Pascal has a text window for the
same purpose, so I would imagine that Think C also can be used in "textbook
mode."

The point being that one should be able to learn to C whilest using a Mac compiler...
