Beg pardon?  I interpreted the original query to be "Can I preview my
TeX output on the screen instead of printing it?", which is certainly
possible in both Mac and IBM implementations.

If the original querant actually meant "Can I type something and have it
be typeset automatically on the screen?  I don't want to see the code
involved", then you're right, but I don't know of any TeX implementation that
can do this.
