Don't laugh, but my favorite editor is WordStar (version 4.0).  My
fingers fly over its CNTL-this and CNTL-that sequences -- much preferred
to the "meta" key of 'emacs' or the insert/command mode of 'vi'.  But I
don't expect WordStar International Corp. to port their MS-DOS jewel to
unix anytime in my lifetime.

Alas, I need to use emacs at work.  I suppose I could just learn it, but
*all* of my other editors (Turbo C, Turbo Pascal, SideKick, my DOS
command line editor, etc.) honor the WordStar keys and I'd rather not
have to switch back and forth.  Which brings me to my question: can
anyone suggest a file of key bindings that makes emacs act like WordStar?

Thanks,
