I added xset (from xbin.tgz) to BL2 and all the dependencies are present. 
(In BL3 I do not have dependency libX11.so.6 but Abiword works anyway).

I installed the abiword.tgz for BL3, on two computers.

On one of them (with Tseng card) when I type exit in the rxvt (similarly 
to Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) Xvesa goes crazy.  Colored screen with some 
scrambled colors at the top.  Hitting Enter changes the screen color from 
green to magenta to .....

Apparently Xvesa does not like Tseng cards. I will eventually try xfbdev 
and/or svga X server with generic config file.

Before this and on the other computer, typing abiword gives me
error messages:

"AbiWord could not load the following font or fontset from the X Window 
System display server:
....Times New Roman - regular .......

Often this error is the result of invoking AbiWord directly instead of 
through its wrapper shell script.  The script dynamically adds the 
AbiSuite font directory to your X Window System display server font path 
before running the executable."

Where do I get a wrapper shell script?  It is not needed in BL3, is it?
I tried adding to /etc/profile ':/usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts' (without the ' 
') which did not help. Where is the X display server font path specified?
Steven must have done something clever to get it to work in BL3.

I clicked OK and got the same message again (or very similar to it).

Clicking OK got me back to the rxvt with:
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-Misc" missing or display ":0.0".
Then three Gdk-WARNINGS about locale set to C, cannot se locale modifiers, 
and Error converting icon name to text property:  -2

This same Abiword works in BL3 on this computer when I chroot.
(xterm is not working though.  It flashes onscreen and then 
off again.  I do not have xterm in BL3, just rxvt, and icewm is set up to 
load xterm xterm rxvt.  No idea how that got there.  Changing to three 
rxvts does not help either.  Something about chrooting?  Abiword works 
from the menu.)

Has David or Steven or anyone successfully used the static abiword in BL2?
