If you want to program the Unix machine, you'll want a Mac interface (CUT and paste, double-clicking, and inserting in the middle of a word you just mis-typed.) For this get dumb virtue (it uses the Unix end of uw): dumb virtue . . . "The shell programmer's little friend" v1.1, copyright Kevin Eric Saunders 1986 License: $20 per copy (+$10 for latest version, +7% NYS residents). 721 W. Court Street Ithaca, NY 14850 Version 1.0 was posted a year or so ago; avoid it, it crashed most of the time. 1.1 isn't as solid as uw, but if you need a multi-window Mac terminal, it's the only way to go.
