David: I know both are major modes; my question is whether someone has
written a series of macros to overrule AUCTeX's default key bindings
and make WordStar/Borland assignments; or else some guidance on either
how to turn the ws major mode into a minor mode, or how to save new key
bindings into an elisp file for future reuse. (If it is possible to
load them at start up, much better!)

I remember those days; I even remember my school assignments written
*on a typewriter*. Compared to nowaday's computer-addiction it was
really hard, but reliable...

... perhaps not in typing. I keep my old Olivetti. The most reliable
document preparation system I ever tried!
