I would like recommendations for a simple (yes, VERY SIMPLE!)
mode-less, full-screen editor for 4.2 BSD UNIX.  The editor should use
the cursor-arrow keys for movement. It should, at the least, be able to
run on a vt100 terminal and on PC kermits which emulate vt100.  If it
can use TERMCAP, so much the better.

My application is VERY CASUAL unix users -- university administrators.
('nuff said!)  They should be able to use this mickey-mouse editor
where-ever the rest of us use vi or emacs.  I envision the editor as
similar to the one provided on the Radio Shack model 100 -- but if
something even simpler is available, I'll take it!
