Well, maybe there's only a few of us using it, but S&K Technology's
PC WatchWord retails for $125, and it handles what you describe with ease.
it's got more laser support than I can use, has built-in arithmetic,
great macros, and is possibly one of the most configurable editors going,
if you like configuring programs!  I use it as my programming editor, but
I've never had a correspondence or report-writing need that WW couldn't
handle.
 
Peace on earth and to each of you, especially those who love to argue about
their machines!  Merry Christmas to all, and to all...Good Night!
