wordstar-mode is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `ws-mode'.
(wordstar-mode)

Major mode with WordStar-like key bindings.

BUGS:
 - Help menus with WordStar commands (C-j just calls help-for-help)
   are not implemented
 - Options for search and replace
 - Show markers (C-k h) is somewhat strange
 - Search and replace (C-q a) is only available in forward direction

No key bindings beginning with ESC are installed, they will work
Emacs-like.

The key bindings are:

  C-a           backward-word
  C-b           fill-paragraph
  C-c           scroll-up-line
  C-d           forward-char
  C-e           previous-line
  C-f           forward-word
  C-g           delete-char
  C-h           backward-char
  C-i           indent-for-tab-command
  C-j           help-for-help
  C-k           ordstar-C-k-map
  C-l           ws-repeat-search
  C-n           open-line
  C-p           quoted-insert
  C-r           scroll-down-line

  C-y           kill-complete-line
  C-z           scroll-up
