You folks might try WordPerfect Corp's Program Editor, which is part of
their Library 2.0 group of utilities.  While PE is meant as a straight
text editor, you can turn "interpret" off and load anything, including
program files.  I don't see any reason why you couldn't then use the
normal cut/delete/paste features of the editor.  It will also show the
file in hex mode by turning on `reveal,' though that will only appear
int he bottom half of the screen.
