You might consider jed which also has a small footprint.  Its emacs
emulation is closer to GNU emacs than uemacs.  It also supports the mouse
and provides color syntax highlighting.  Jed is available from space.mit.edu
in pub/davis/jed.  The latest version is 0.97-13.

Jed already does this.

There are a number of TSR programs that provide this mapping under MSDOS.
My favorite is Ralf Brown's rbkeyswp.com.  I wish I knew how to do it under
MSWindows.

Good luck.
