The existence of MLEPM has since been pointed out to me:

MLEPM.ZIP     165K 10-05-95  MLEPM is a package for use with EPM, the Enhanced
                             Editor. It works with both EPM v5.51a and v6. It
                             provides hooks, on-the-fly highlighting (with
                             regular expr.), popup menus (for v5.51a) and
                             editing modes for C/C++, REXX, E and some others.

I'm familiar with LPEX, which was written by Mike Cowlishaw of Rexx fame. 
He discusses it, along with quite a lot about Rexx, in the latest issue of
Dr Dobb's Journal (March 1996).

I know what you mean, but I'll live with that.  EPM is a good editor.
