I recently found MicroGnuEmacs (Gnu Emacs little brother).  It compiles
(stripped) to about 90K on my sun3.  The key bindings are easy enough
to figure out, too (if you want some sample bindings, I can send them).
It's key map is largely identical to GnuEmacs.  This loads *much* faster
than the non-editor, VI.  ;-)  (I don't know how it compares with Qedit,
as I haven't used Qedit).

I think you can find it in wuarchive.wustl.edu under /mirrors/unix-c/editors
(there's also a compiled msdos version in /mirrors/msdos/editor).

You should make one change in main.c:

diff main.c main.c.old shows:

52,53d51
<       if (cp = startupfile(getenv("TERM")))
<               load(cp);

This will make the program read both .mg and .mg.$TERM (eg .mg.vt100)
(this will take care of the terminal dependent stuff).
