Looking for a text mode word processor



Hi All,

I'm not certain if this is topical or not but here goes. I would like to
locate a text mode word processor (layout much beyond a tab ordered list
is unimportant) like the old WordPerfect Unix 5.x, Word Star 6 Unix, etc
that I can run over ssh. Any hints on what to look for in the ports tree
are welcome! Please note that the complexity of Latex is so vastly
beyond what I need that it's a non-option.

BTW, if anyone has managed to get WordPerfect or WordStar Unix working
under OpenBSD i386 3.0 I would like to hear from you. Given that that
these word processors are so cheap on eBay, if I can get one of them
running reliably on OBSD I'd be one happy camper.

TIA,
