Bob, if you want SPEED SPEED SPEED SPEED I would have a look at Tempus
from CCD (the people which wrote the OSS Personal Pascal Compiler).
It's a bit less flexible than the various *emacs*, but it is at least
an order of magnitude quicker in all functions than any other editor
I've seen to date. Features:

               - GEM based with windows etc.
               - < 60 kB
               - max. 4 windows open at once, copy between windows etc.
               - max. 1200 search and replace ops per second
               - max. line length 255
               - practically all functions available via key combinations
               - file size limit is available memory
               - on mono monitor every window can have 8x8 or 8x16 character
                 set
               - built-in programmers calculator etc..............

The only things that are really missing: macro language, keypad as function
keys. You actually don't see the screen updating, matter of fact the first
hour or so of use was a bit disturbing: I would click on the one of the
slider bars and wait for the screen to redraw (ala 1st Word) and nothing
would happen! it had already done the operation! There's a demo version
which I can send to you if you are interested. The price of Tempus in
Switzerland is ~70 SFr ~$50 (it would probably be even cheaper if distributed
in the US).

PS: I've tried Tempus with:
        OSS Pascal Shell (has a special interface program)
        Megamax Shell
        TDI Modula II Desktop

    It works very well with Megamax, it has a following very nice feature:
          if you click the right mouse button on a number in a non-active
          window the current window is positioned on that line of the file.
