I have the Editor Toolbox.  It's a bunch of Turbo Pascal routines that
can be used as building blocks for customized editors.  It comes with
2 pre-made editors ... one is a small, sample editor, and the other is
a full-blown Wordstar-type editor (similar to the built-in editor that
comes with Turbo Pascal, but better).  There's a fairly good instruction
manual that tells you the basics of how to construct and editor and 
describes the existing routines.

You get a .COM file (since this is Turbo Pascal) ... no resident 
capabilities unless you put them in yourself.

But all the source code is there, and you can do pretty much what you
please.  Overall, I think it's one of Borland's more useful products.

Oh yes, in addition, there are "hooks" in one of the source modules for
interfacing with Turbo Lightning, if it's resident.  It's not discussed
in the documentation, but the (fairly well commented) source code shows
you how to do this interface.
