I present you e3. It works in wordstar, emacs, or vi modes.
I find while hacking on the iliad, that I'm often ssh-ing into my iliad to make some changes, and I really don't like vi, so here's an emacs like editor.
To install, gunzip the attached executable to a useful place on your iliad, I use /usr/bin
and
ln -s /usr/bin/e3arm /usr/bin/e3em
ln -s /usr/bin/e3arm /usr/bin/e3ws
ln -s /usr/bin/e3arm /usr/bin/e3vi
to create the emacs, wordstar and vi versions respectively.
run e3em and no longer have to put up with vi's crazy way of doing things
