It didn't have a Unix shell, but you likely had some way to type commands and get the computer to run them. Depending on context, you might have had HyperTalk, or AppleScript, or the MPW Shell. In some ways these could be even more powerful than a Unix shell. What's the Unix way to say "Select a menu item", if the developer of your favorite app didn't think to also include a command-line interface to it? (Yeah, I know: accessibility APIs. Do all your apps include a complete set of those, too?)
