We are in the process of installing an email package on our Sequent
system
and most of the users who will be using it are not familiar with Unix.
We would like to make it as painless as possible to use the email so
we would like to find an editor that is 'somewhat' more friendly than
VI.  A full screen editor that uses the cursor keys to move around
would be nice.  Most of our users are used to the editors available on
MS/DOS so something on that order would be nice.  I suspect there are
several available in the public domain, but I don't know where.

Any help or suggestions are gratefully accepted.
