       For a first look, type W at the commandline and you will
     get the editor screen - then use F1 to get a short help for the
     editor.  You can exit the editor by typing "exit" at the
     commandline; to switch to the commandline, you can hit
     the Escape-Key.  The documentation is in the file w.ref; of
     course you can use "W" to have a look at this file
     (type:  "load w.ref" at the "W"-Commandline).

       If you prefer a Wordstar/Turbo like emulation you may start
     "W" with: "W -ws" (but it was not tested for a long time)
