At present a console version of Stata 8 for Mac OS X is not 
available.  As an alternative, you can run Stata in a terminal window 
in batch mode (see the FAQ at 
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/mac/advanced8.html#batch).  This 
provides full access to the program, but does not permit you to use 
it interactively.

Perhaps someone at StataCorp might want to comment further here, but 
my understanding is that a console version of Stata for Mac OS X is 
under consideration, as is an X-Windows version.
