I own a copy of merlin (an older version).  I have never found a full 
screen editor.  Maybe it's just too old.  

Merlin has about the best editor around (even the old version).  It uses
the space bar to do tabbing and puts the cursor right in the field you
want.  Nice and handy.  It is also two orders of magnitude faster than
EDASM from apple.  It also includes good macro facilities.

Another good assembler is the S-C Macro Assembler.  This is probably the
best assembler around from a standpoint of amount of use, amount of
support, and ease of use.  It comes in two flavors, 3.3 and ProDOS.  It
assembles quickly and can assemble 6502, 65c02, 65c802, 65c816 right out
of the box.  Cross assemblers are availible for many processors.  S-C
even has a newsletter that owners may subscribe to that has information
about things that users have been doing.  Also available is a full
screen editor that patches into S-C.

Good luck...
