Of course you can do that, but you'll have to write external commands to do that. The basic operation of MWS is the user wants something, the host sends something. What you want to do requires a lot of history information or caching. There are two other problems with MWS: (1) your MWS application cannot have documents itself. It can process TEXT and MacWrite documents, but there is no double-clicking. (2) The transport layer supports no umlauted characters via transport method 2, you must use ADSP or the binary method (which is in general useless, because it assumes 8 bit, no XOn/XOff).
