I wrote a WordStar emulation for gosmacs a couple of years ago, and refined it and debugged it over time. It's quite reliable, except for the remapping of ^X (the first pair of ^X's after startup beep, probably because of weirdness in gosmac's unmapping of prefix keys), and exiting when you've got a few buffers around (I don't know WordStar and don't have the real thing accessible to me, so I had to rely on a manual and people's experience). It's not real featureful, but I handle all the obvious stuff, a fill range of file manipulation commands, and the full range of operations on a single block. Would anyone like to convert this to elisp and donate it to the Free Software Foundation/GNU Project? It's about 500 lines of code and comments (the code's quite well commented). -scott
