I would suggest Black Beard for programmers.  It's a pseudo emacs, but it's
neatest feature is that it can be memory resident.  I supports 10 file
windows and three extra windows.  It supports a mouse.  But I don't know
if it is a "small full-screen editor" in that I don't know what small is.
If you need a small disk image because you are developing on a machine
that only has floppy disks then this solves that problem because it is
memory resident (in fact you can recall the editor in the exact same place
that you left it...great for working out those troubled spots in tough
code.). But, if you mean small by how much memory it takes up I'm still not
sure what small is.  All I can say is that it doesn't bind me on a 640k PC.
Contact me if you need more info, but Black Beard is on may BBS's.
