Ah.... this is _pre_ OSX. We're talking original mac, Mac 128, 512,
Plus, SE, SE-30, etc. Ancient stuff--1989, etc. There was no terminal
for it. There was a button on the side of the Mac, called the
programmer's interrupt or programmer's switch, that called up a little
window, superimposed over the display. It was very cryptic. For
example, type "G" and return to exit the window. Nothing like the
terminal or bash or tch or anything DOS ever did...
