This may not be the answer you're looking for, but Chapter 6 of "Software
Tools in Pascal", written by Kernighan and Plauger builds an ed-like editor
in Pascal.  If you have the time, you could always translate the code and
then build it yourself, or if you have a Pascal compiler available - just
enter the code verbatim.  The editor is quite powerful, and is fully
functional.
