Request for UNIX Word Processor Info

In my never-ending quest for the ideal word processing system, I am 
looking for a troff-compatible (or, at worst, a ditroff-compatible) 
word processor that runs on UNIX (for our writers who don't yet know 
troff).  We are running UNIX sort-of-almost 4.1 bsd on a Pixel 100/AP, 
and we don't have ditroff.

Ideally, what I'd like is something that provides a gentle interface 
for vi & troff and a weaning from WordStar.  I'd like something 
that produces troff/ditroff output, but if that's not available, 
I'd settle for something that produces ASCII text files.

I would appreciate it if anyone who has seen any UNIX-based word 
processors or interfaces to vi/nroff would send me information.

				Thanks,
				Anne Chenette
