Try 'jot'.  It comes with the system.  It could use a lot of work to be
really usefull, but for a novice, it's really great.  I purchased an
editor called 'AME'.  It did some real nice stuff, but unfortunately, I
could type faster than it could catch characters and it would miss them.
Got to be too much of a pain with all the lost characters so I gave up on
it.
