I'll definitely be trying Ted sometime; however, at the moment 
I'm all tied up with browsers.  For the last few days I've been 
trying to compile konq/e (the embedded version of the Konqueror 
browser).  Unfortunately it is very picky about which version 
of Qt is used to compile it with (apparently only a 12mb Qt 
will do).  I've also downloaded the Skipstone browser and am 
trying to get it to work with the Mozilla package in Slack81. 

As far as word processors go, the main candidates are Ted, 
AbiWord and flwriter.  I'd be interested to hear from users 
running X on older PCs how well those word processors perform.  
Even though flwriter is much slimmer than the others, I was 
surprised to find it a little sluggish on my 486.  I must
try Ted on that machine and see if it is any better.

Those of you wishing to try flwriter will find it here:

The size of the file is 319kb.  You may have to add a 
library from Slackware 7.1 (use ldd to see).
------------------
gunzip flwriter.gz
chmod +x flwriter
ldd flwriter

Cheers,
