Flwriter had terrible keyboard navigation - you could not even go to the
end of a line without holding down the right arrow key. How is the
keyboard navigation in pw - can you hit Home and End, is there some way to
move one word at a time, delete one word, etc?

Does Ted work without a mouse? Abiword?

I still need to put together another computer before adding any more
software so cannot test any of these yet (no disk space left).
