Summary: 

I will soon send out Mark Stowe's program that makes Microsoft Word
behave like the Unix vi editor.  (I'm just waiting for him to write
some documentation and stop adding new improvements.  He keeps wasting
time on this unimportant other pursuit of his, a Ph.D. thesis.) The vi
program will be shareware and Mark will be asking for $10.  His program
could, with some work, be made to emulate many EMACS features too.  Do
people want that?  Would it be worth $10?  Which features are most
used?  For vi, he did every feature I'd ever used so I expect he could
do the same for EMACS even if he doesn't get to some of the more
esoteric ones.
