I'm looking for source code for a Wordstar | type editor for Unix 3.1 System V. You stone, you clod, you worse than senseless thing! What a stupid question! There, not that you have the abuse you crave, how about a (somewhat) useful answer: get a copy of MicroEMACS and customize the keystrokes and macros to look like Wordstar. This will (a) give you the editor you think you want, (b) teach you something about simple emacs bindings and macros, and (c) probably convert you to emacs on UNIX and DOS.
