I liked the Borland C++ IDE and OWL better than MFC but the gorilla won. 
iirc you could select the Brief bindings on the editor but it wasn't the 
full Brief editor. I'd used Wordstar on CP/M so I stayed with those. 

It's been a long time but iirc ^C, ^V, and others that are now standard 
were used. I don't know if they originated in Wordstar.
