Me too, for same reason.  I run a Public Access UNIX system, and need
to run a secure word wrapping SMALL editor.  And yes, we're looking
at Micro-emacs, but it's NOT SECURE ENOUGH.  (Although our local emacs
hacker is working on it).

I do have stevie working (apart from a strange lock-up that occurs
when editing near the end of the file sometimes), but it doesn't
support word wrap, and is hard for novices to use (too vi-like).

One option I've looked at: Marc Rochkind's book on writing window
manager for C includes source for a small editor.  He sells the code
on disk, but it's too expensive (nearly US$1,000).
