$Has anyone seen such a beast?  I've heard a rumor that PC Magazine or

   PC Magazine has a program called TED which is a very simple, very small
(< 3K) editor.  I've heard that they have a version out which is newer than
the one I have, so there may be features in addition to these:

- cut/paste
- insert/overwrite
- support for screen sizes other than 80x25 (I've used it on a 132x44)
- limited to <64K files

   I have TED 1.0, dated 1988, and it's 2984 bytes long.  Check the latest
PC Magazine to see what the latest version of TED is; specifically, I've
heard that there is a newer one that allows searches.
