The book    FORTH: A TEXT AND REFERENCE
	      by M. Kelly and N. Spies
contains documentation for a very nice screen editor.  It is mostly written
in generic Standard Forth and is 10 screens long.  The book discusses the
editor in detail and mentions changes that can be made using commands that
your computer/DOS may offer for screen manipulation.  Since the editor is
small and simple, and the documentation so complete, it is quite easy to
add "features" (and the book mentions a few).  

The editor is listed in Chapter 12. The following chapter on "Forth Programming
Style" discusses that topic in the context of the development of a particular
program:  the editor!

The book is highly recommended -- both for the editor and the discussion of
Forth programming.
