I'm a relative stranger to the world of Unix editors, so please bear with
what must be a FAQ.  I'm looking for a customizable editor/word processor
that can be incorporated into a larger product; commercial or freeware is
fine.  It needs to run on Unix under Motif on at least SPARCs, DECstations,
and RS-6000s.  Basically, the more capabilities the better, but at a minimum
it needs to support multiple fonts of different sizes on the screen at once
and to have sufficient hooks to be able to replace editing operations with
calls to other portions of our product, which implies good interprocess
communication (being able to ship commands and paragraph-sized chunks of
text back and forth across the interface).

We've been using Epoch, but the Emacs-based character orientation (that a
window is a rectangular grid of equal-sized spaces) looks to be too
pervasive to overcome in the amount of effort we're able to commit.  Any
suggestions will be welcome; I'll read this group for the next week or so,
or you can send me email at the address below.  Thanks in advance for any
help.
