You might consider JOVE, a public domain version of the EMACS editor, which
runs on the IBM PC under MS-DOS and 4.2bsd Unix, at least.  I have not used
it on 4.2bsd (yet) but it works well on the PC.  It's large (ca. 100K) but
far smaller than the PD EMACS from the GNU project, which is the full-blown
version.  Keyboard bindings are arbitrary in JOVE, but it lacks extensibility
and LISP support ... in my view, an excellent tradeoff for size.
