I hear that you can run NeWS on a Mac under the MacOS Finder.

What can you do with NeWS on a Mac besides using it as a NeWS Server
and connecting to another machine?

I mean, can you develop NeWS software on a stand-alone Mac? 

I don't understand how this can be done with an operating system
without true multitasking.

As I see it, the NeWS server is running on a Mac waiting
for a request. But since it is the only process, it must wait for an
event from a serial port or network before it initiates anything.

Maybe you can send commands to the server using psh, but how can you
edit a file or program and test it without using another computer?

Am I missing something? Or is NeWS on the MacOS useless in a
stand-alone environment?
