    Suppose you had an IBM PS/2 Model 50 on which you plan to  
    do some graphics-related code development in C (probably 
    Microsoft, if it can be obtained on 3.5" floppies).  
    Suppose, also, that you have no special preference for 
    any of the word processors or editors commonly used with 
    MS/DOS, having no extensive experience with an IBM PC or 
    clone.

    What word processor would you choose today for developing
    code on a mod 50?

    Are there any text editors yet that take advantage of the
    new displays?  How about one that knows about the IBM mouse
    on the PS/2?

    Does anyone remember the name of the MS/DOS editor which was
    a look-alike of the Atex editor, and is it still available?

    I realize that this could start a religious argument, but
    it's a serious request.
