- There was once even a WordPerfect programmer's editor (I don't know when or
- how, I just remeber finding a disk with it). It was WordPerfect with all of
- the wordprocessing stuff removed, and with saner key-mappings (it actually
- used Ctrl keys!). WordPerfect's vi-style command prefixing even made some
- sense. Does anyone know what ever happened to that?
