That should be "A wonderful CP/M word processor, with a 'non-docuument'
mode so it could double as a programmer's editor, that was ported to the
TRS-80, Apple ][, and eventually DOS."

:-)

The WordStar command set became a defacto standard, with many editors
emulating them, including if I remember correclty the Borland Turbo series.
I still use a text editor on Unix (joe) that uses the Wordstar command set.

Some nut-jobs actualy make a WordStar command emulator for Word.

When I left the comforts of my TRS-80 Basic and it's line editor, and had to
learn a new text editor, I swore I would never go through that again. It
appears there are enough other nut-jobs in the world besides me to not only
keep my Vector games working, but to keep me from ever having to learn a new
text editor again.
