  Could you explain what you mean when you say "word processor?"

  Does emacs or vi or ed or whatever do what you want, or are you looking for
something that does fonts and stuff like that in addition to doing plain-text?
If the latter, is a formatter like latex OK for you, or do you mean WYSIWYG
when you say "word processor?"  If the latter, have you tried the Andrew
software on the X contrib tape?

  If you're looking for something that does fonts, etc. WYSIWYG, you probably
should follow up this message to comp.windows.x, since anything you find is
going to need X, and the people in that newsgroup can probably help you better
than the people in comp.unix.questions can.

  (In case anybody doesn't know, WYSIWYG stands for "What You See Is What You
get.")
