Best Answer

Not sure exactly what you mean. If you mean was OS 9 command-line based, like DOS, the answer is no. OS 9 is a full-GUI OS, just like OS X is. While OS X does have a terminal window so you can access the underlying Unix-based infrastructure, OS 9 had none (and no infrastructure to access via command-line).
