The application is called MathType.  WYSIWYG equations, pull down menus
and output as good as TeX.  Does not run with system 7.
I bought mine from MacZone, It is not available from all the big mail
order houses.  They do have a demo version.  Expected system 7 compatibility
in a few months.  They have a TeX generator which I use only to send
documents to my advisor, who uses LaTeX.  They expect to have a Mathematica
translation soon.

For Everything else I use I have system 7 compatible versions, I ran system
7 for 2 weeks (enjoyed it) but with the incompatibility problem I had
to choose between Mathtype and system 7.   I chose Mathtype.

Not affiliated with either Design Science or MacZone.  One happy user.
