Any help?

I had a problem running the python program (Xubuntu could not find
the program even though
it was in the same directory as the WS programs. I also could not
set it to run as a program in permissions.
I gave up.
Actually what I was trying to find was an editor that would only
edit certain types of files, vs an editor that would edit any kind
of file. Search failed to find that. I am now trying to get
dosemu2 running (problem) and so I could read the file using
Wordstar and save it as a "non-document " file, they edit it with
fonts etc. \using Libre-Office.
