Can anyone help me?

I am looking for a Sunview or X-Windows tool for nroff, something that makes
nroff closer to the wysiwyg word processors in their "point and click" 
feature. Currently my company is migrating to FrameMaker as a Sun-based
documentation package because it sports a user-friendly interface.
Unfortunately  it is engineer-hostile. In spite of its great looking hardcopy
(if one has a Postscript printer) it doesn't live comfortably in our UNIX
development environ (sccs, grep, ascii text file problems and such). 
What we need is an easy to use nroff. 

Please e-mail me, and if there is enough interest I will post the results.

Thanks in advance,

Kevin J. Stehm
