Because I use EMACS on all my UNIX machines, I chose
JOVE as my public-domain (actually Freeware) text editor.
I hacked it to support my VGA's strange modes (like
132 columns x 50 lines) by loking in low RAM for
the number of rows and columns on the screen.  It doesn't
support a mouse, except through the arrow-key emulators sold
with some mice, and doesn't use pop-down or any
other kind of menus, but is a good implementation of
EMACS, so it gives me one less editor to learn when
moving from machine to machine.
