EMACS is all this and more.  And the best implementation of EMACS,
Gnu EMACS, is free.  Unfortunately, I can't use Gnu EMACS because
it's too big to run on an Intel pseudo-computer.  But it is the best.

I use Jove, a very nice EMACS subset that's small enough and fast
enough to run on the Intel "architecture".
