Try I?M Personal Editor II which has no limit of the file size as long as
you have space on disk to store temp file.
If the memory is not enough to store the big file, it automatically create
a temp file to store it.
It also has the most powerful block commands to do cut and paste.

It is programmable, but very slow.
It has not limit to open files and at most can open 4 windows in one screen.

All together, I love to use it to write programs using its powerful cut and
paste. For word processing, better try other editor.
