Subject: editor that understands CTRL/B, CTRL/I, CTRL/U

My daughter is doing a touch typing course
that presumes MS Word. So far she was fine
with pico, but now they want the kids to
practice CTRL/B (bold), CTRL/I (italic),
CTRL/U (underline). She really needs to use
these particular combinations because that
is how the on-line assessment tool is set out.

I use nothing but vi, so have no clue which,
if any, editor from ports/editors will have
these particular combinations implemented.

Please recommend one, preferably as simple
and as small as possible.

Sorry *NO* 'text editor' has those capabilities, let alone has
them on those key sequences.

Those are 'word processor' functions. word processor' software
is required.

I know, I know..

I don't know why in a touchtyping course
you need to teach kids this, but..

Anyway, abiword seems to do what I need.

Let me know if there's anything lighter.

Many thanks
