Yeah, LO Writer is my stuff.  I have WPS Office installed, too, just
for the hell of it, but I use LO.

Doesn't joe have some kind of jmacs as well?

from the man page for Joe...

  joe [global-options] [ [local-options] filename ]...
       jstar [global-options] [ [local-options] filename ]...
       jmacs [global-options] [ [local-options] filename ]...
       rjoe [global-options] [ [local-options] filename ]...
       jpico [global-options] [ [local-options] filename ]...


So it does a bunch...I think there is actually a WordStar clone for linux
out there but I've never investigated it.

I should try 'joe' by itself just to see....
