There was once even a WordPerfect programmer's editor (I don't know when or
how, I just remeber finding a disk with it).  It was WordPerfect with all of
the wordprocessing stuff removed, and with saner key-mappings (it actually
used Ctrl keys!).  WordPerfect's vi-style command prefixing even made some
sense.  Does anyone know what ever happened to that?
