I almost ended up writing one in TI-92 BASIC as part of Organize!92
(available on www.ticalc.org) -- most of the code that drives the listboxes
could be reused to build an outliner or very simple word processor, and
you're welcome to take a look at it and rip off parts ot it. Since the TI-92
font is monospaced, drawing text and calculating text extents wouldn't be a
horrible pain. The problem would be with responsiveness -- to improve this
you're probably looking at writing in assembler.

Output would be in .92S, which you could convert easily to .txt (or .rtf,
for that matter).
