Honestly, I don't know that there is a good console "wordpad.exe" like editor. nano is probably the closest to what you are looking for, with emacs being a (much more complex but featureful) second. Personally, I use emacs and/or vim, and find that they handle prose well; however, there is a steep learning curve for both of them, and if you just want to jump in and go, a simpler and less powerful editor might be better.
