I have a Macintosh SE FD HD running Apple System 6. Is there a Terminal application? What programming language(s) can I run on System 6?

There is no terminal application for System 6, at least not out of the box. There is Macintosh Programmers Workshop and a couple of other oddities around, as well as things like telnet clients for connecting to other computers.

While I don't know all possible programming languages, MPW will give you a command line, C, C++, and Pascal. Other languages I've seen were Chipmunk BASIC, Perl, and other development environments that were common were Think C and Metrowerks CodeWarrior. Here is a random webpage about it.

@Moshe, I'd poke around the entire site, euronet.nl/users/mvdk/develop.html. It looks to be fairly updated and you'll probably find a lot of valuable information over there. – SoFLy Sep 16 '12 at 4:32
Thanks @SoFly I should have linked there rather than to the one I did. – laaph Sep 16 '12 at 5:44
