The responses I got indicate that freemacs is indeed the best.
I also asked about etags for freemacs, and I have now obtained a
copy.

I've been told that I should get 4dos, a replacement for
command.com for which you can select your own key bindings.

The question that remains is how to disable this effect for ^P,
so that I can use it to scroll backwards through the history list.
Thanks to all who responded (and to anyone who may have followed-up;
