Warning: the following has contents that might look commercial, and I do not
seem to have my ^L handy:

















I'd take Uedit. When I bought it originally, it included a WordStar emulation.
I never used this, so I can't tell about the quality of this, but full source
for the emulation was included.
   Also Uedit is probably the most user modifiable text editor on the Amiga.
Every command is written in a well-documented Command language and full 
source for all commands is included. Writing new commands is quite easy, and
totally rewriting the functionality from scratch is quite feasible.
   As someone else remarked, support is the best to be found. The author has
send me six updates in half a year, and only recently asked me to pay for it!

   There was a special offer that might still be in effect:
   Full Uedit with Command Language Docs on disk:  $25.
Otherwise:
   Complete with large printed manual: $50.

Uedit is available only directly from the author:
   Rick Stiles, PO Box 666, Washinton, IN 47501, USA.
You should probably ask explicitly for the WordStar (UStar) emulation.
