You could write a client program for IGS that automatically read out and/or let you explore interactively very simple positions (ladders, geta) and allowed you to refer to joseki or life and death databases easily. That would be computer cheating and would make one play better go if used, erm, properly. It could also use a go engine to suggest moves. That feature would probably be almost completely useless, though. Obviously, I have not done that nor do I suggest anyone should do it. But it is possible. Pekka K.
