I recently downloaded Robert Dewar's visual editor, dved, and find it
to be excellent.  It is a screen editor with all features of vi that I
use most often (no, you can't pipe a buffer through a pipe but come
on!).  I have used it mostly as a program editor but it also has
limited word processing capabilities.  I find the function key and
keypad orientated commands easier to use the WordStar's control
character format.  Dved has an excellent help facility embedded in the
.exe file and it will print its own manual.  As you can tell I am sold
and the price was right, FREE!  I downloaded dved from a local BBS.
You might try the ones in your area.
