Not emacs? And not X based? Oof. That's a tough one.
My suggestions, in order. :
1) Fix your X configuration and run X and Xemacs. What card do you run? I
may be able to help, or at least know where to point you. And, Xemacs has
nice pull-down menus :)
2) Learn emacs- it's painful to learn, but once you've figured it out, it
is great. Try going through the tutorial (Hit control-h, and then a t, to
bring it up.) Once you are done with that, print out refcard.ps (should
be in one of the emacs subdirectories) as a guide.
3) If neither of those two appeal, try searching http://freshmeat.net for
text editors. There aren't many out there that aren't X-based, since
those people who prefer text-based almost universally use vi or emacs.
Good luck-
Luis
