I don't know, but the advertisements say it supports the full set Mac user
interface features.   And keep in mind that CodeWarrior is not that
inexpensive if you are not a student either :-(

The IBM VisualAge product line (PC only) is probably the best way you can
try it out without Mac OS X, but it is expensive and only a few companies
seem to use it.  There also used to be a IBM VisualAge for Smalltalk for
over $4000 ... I had the pleasure to play with it for a weeks a few years
back during a 10 day internship (done in high-school).  Unfortunately I
still don't know Smalltalk, but it didn't look to difficult to learn :-(
