Hello, I currently run a public access UNIX (SCO XENIX) site and we
are in the process of allowing people who are not familiar UNIX and
UNIX-style editors (vi, Emacs, etc.) access to our system.  I am
looking for a simple line or visual editor than John Q. Public could
use with ease.  In particular, as a mail editor for Elm 2.3.

I have tried WordPerfect and Microsoft Word for SCO XENIX and neither
fits the bill.  They are far too complex for such a simple task.
Something that emulates a typical BBS editor or the CompuServe editor
would be great.  John Q. Public should be able to use it day one
with little or no assistance.  Any assistance would be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
