Pocket Writer for the C64 rules. I also did a lot of my papers in Word
Writer 5, which is primitive compared to the bliss that is Pocket Writer,
but it had a much bigger document buffer.
For Ben's benefit, Pocket Writer *did* have a 80x24 (software generated)
display. So there.
Heck, if you want WYSIWYG on the C64, there's geoWrite/geoPublish or PageFox.
I'm still threatening to write my 'tiny vi' for the 64.
