The original posting wondered if there were some editor that could show
math symbols as themselves.

I could just say "get a Mac!"  The macintosh fonts include many math
symbols, and there is a whole font of symbols, too (appropriately called
"Symbol").  Together with a product like MacEqn, they give you a pretty
nice, easy way to put together equations in a wysiwyg fashion.

Probably MacTeX gives you similar capabilities, with its preview
window.  (I bet InterLeaf for the Sun can do a pretty good job, too,
just to show I'm not a complete Mac chauvinist.)
