  I am looking for a text editor to run on a BSD 4.2 system (SUN 3).
The users of this editor will be relatively naive with respect to unix,
computing, and editors.  Further, the editor will need to be used on
both workstation monitors and glass terminals (like VT-100's).

  Vi is far too cryptic for a naive user, and Sun's mouse based editor
is unusable on the VT-100's.  I would appreciate any comments or
suggestions from NET members who have experience with, or pointers to
editors that might meet my requirements.  Both PD software and commercial
packages would be acceptable.

  Thanks in advance...
