For what you want to do, you'll need to write your own "basic text editor". This is not very difficult:

You'll need:

a) a routine to read keyboard input.
b) interpret the data (check for controls) also insert codes for new line, etc
c) store data
d) screen printing routine.

use "locate" and "write", and a fixed font will avoid a lot of trouble.
