M-ROS is the multitasking environment developed by Steinburg-Jones
for use with their MIDI software.(Cubase, editor/librarians, etc.)
It also, I believe, allows communication between various 
components of Cubase itself and between Cubase an other programs
that would be running simultaneously. (Midi data exchange, triggering,
events, etc.) 

M-ROS works behind the scenes whenever you load any Steinburg-Jones
package.  IT has no editor as such.  In fact, if I am not mistaken,
Cubase itself needs M-ROS to function properly (independent of
their other packages.)  HOWEVER, M-ROS is a PART of the Cubase
package and is not a seperate load.

There is another package distributed with Cubase called
"Switcher" which allows you to load multiple programs 
and have them run simultanteously.  It is limited only
by resident RAM(no swapping capabilities that I know of--
though newer versions of Cubase have loadable modules
to aid memory crunches.)  This would be the closest
thing to an editor for M-ROS that I can imagine. Essentially
it's a menu screen that you call up using an alt-key combination.
You can also jump directly to other programs by using alt-#.

Switcher is primarily intended to be used with
Steinburg-Jones software though it will work with others.
(I have, for example, run Word Perfect simultaneously with
my Cubase without any trouble.)

P.S. Even if you meant M-TOS, I thought this might clear some
things up for those who weren't sure what it was.

P.P.S.  If you're in to MIDI and don't have Cubase,
you're not really in to MIDI.  Rush out and buy it as soon
as you can-- it's phenomenal.  (Also, the only reason
why I keep my Atari.)
