Mac OS 9 does not have a command line. That OS is a dinosaur.
You can think of Mac OS X as a decendant of BSD, with a Mac OS 9 look-a-like
window server. In fact, you can remove Apple's window server and add X11,
turning Mac OS X into just another Unix.
Also, the Unix core of Mac OS X (Darwin) is open source (headed by Jordan
Hubbard, creator of FreeBSD) and can be installed on a PC (x86). You can't
install Apple's window server though. But you can install X11.

So, just think of OS X as just another UNIX.
The biggest difference between Mac OS X and other Unixes is the users. Mac OS X
users are very untechnical compared to other Unix users. It would be a bad idea
to require them to use the command line. They wont even know what you are
talking about.
