One neat feature: you could specify regions of a window (text document) as a separate file, so you could perform redirections to and from. Of the window was "Fred" you could, eg:

Echo "main() {}" > {Fred}.$ cc -o mything {Fred}.$

(Of note, the actual syntax included high bit MacRoman characters, so you were actually using the "section" glyph rather than $)
