Just to add to the confusion, and throw in another name (that I have not yet 
heard), I personally use (cringe) Wordstar 4.0.

I own a Toshiba 1000 on which I run the venerable Wordstar, which also has an
option to load entirely into RAM, if you want.  While it doesn't have all
the nifty features of some of the other programs, it handles wordwrap rather well,
and has a non-document mode I find of more use than either Word or Word Perfect
who require you to use some sort of "saving-translation" into an ASCII format
which may or may not be exactly what you want.  I do all the clever formating,
italics, boldfacing, etc. on a desktop machine equiped with a mouse, hard disk, 
gorilla, Weber carb, etc.  While you may think this is just additional information, 
YOUR MORTAL SOUL DEPENDS ON TAKING MY ADVICE...
