  DTE is a pretty decent editor that uses the Wordstar command set.  You
can find it in wuarchive.wustl.edu under /mirror/msdos/editor/dte5-1.zip

  Unix source is included in the distribution.  Let me know if
you have trouble compiling it on pure BSD machines.  I have a
set of hacks here that may help.
