JOE can do this and much more- including filter rectangles through unix
commands. It even includes a fully complete WordStar nondocument
compatibility mode which runs as a seperate program: jstar.  You can get JOE
by anonymous ftp from ftp.std.com, file: src/editors/joe2.8.tar.Z.  If you
have Linux, you already have JOE. Also a DOS version is availaible on
ftp.std.com, file: src/msdos/editors/joe2x2.zip.

Incidentally, JOE also emulates emacs (jmacs) and I'm currently working on
getting the column mode to work for the emacs yank system.
