Word Grinder. Subject description: Word processor in Ncurses
Most people go with something like Abiword. Perhaps, something larger for their document editing.
I do my writing in a terminal.
This is Word Grinder.
http://wordgrinder.sourceforge.net/
It's out of date. Which is sad. But for an older system, there's nothing better.
Especially exiting into a tty for a truly full screen writing experience.
It's written in Lua.
I want to compile a .pet of this. But I don't know if someone's already beat me to it.

Hi, gnuxo.
Indeed an interesting program, even if old.
I believe ttuuxx (of Puppy 2.17 fame) did come up with such a pet a while back.
May I suggest you try a search with "ttuuxx" and "wordgrinder" as the keywords?
