What do you need in a WP? Academic features (formal citations,
embedded graphics, TOC, index, etc), movie/theater formating,
something I haven't thought of?

I guess what I'm asking is, "Why can't you use a full-featured
*text* editor?" gvim or gedit, maybe, with a postprocessing tool to
reformat output to typewriter (double-spaced, with 1 inch margins &
headers) format?

Such editors are definitely light-weight and ASCII files are small
and totally portable.

I can get the source code to one that I think is good, and if I
can understand the code, I might even be able to make it my
Perfect Word (Pun intended).

Only greybeards will understand that pun.
