I wrote a WordStar emulation for gosmacs a couple of years ago,
and refined it and debugged it over time.  It's quite reliable,
except for the remapping of ^X (the first pair of ^X's after
startup beep, probably because of weirdness in gosmac's unmapping
of prefix keys), and exiting when you've got a few buffers around
(I don't know WordStar and don't have the real thing accessible
to me, so I had to rely on a manual and people's experience).
It's not real featureful, but I handle all the obvious stuff, a
fill range of file manipulation commands, and the full range of
operations on a single block.  Would anyone like to convert this
to elisp and donate it to the Free Software Foundation/GNU
Project?  It's about 500 lines of code and comments (the code's
quite well commented).
