If GNU Emacs can really do EVERYTHING then CAN it do Wordstar emulation?

M-x wordstar-mode

You might try JOE (get by anonymous ftp from ftp.std.com, file: src/editors/joe2.3.tar.Z).
It is a much better wordstar than emacs- plus it has gnu-emacs emulation as well!

There is now VS Code WordStar emulation, here: https://github.com/SinisaMil/Sinisa_Hack
