We found a program called Fenix which fills the bill nicely. Here's the 
pertinant info from the opening screen of the demo version we received:

                         Demonstration Software License
                              from Fenix Software
                                 P.O. Box 15649
                            Sarasota, Florida 34277
                              Sales: 813-351-5532
                            Technical: 813-951-0336


While the demo version truncates ANY file to 50 lines, it appears to contain
everything the full version does including a Spell-Star like checker. It also
contains a Unix sub-menu allowing basic funtions (chmod, mkdir, etc..). After
using WS to write software in compiled basic, having Fenix on a Unix system
makes it feel like home :-)
