I can't help with (a) although others may.

Re: (b)... You can turn off the "enter == eval feature" or any other FRED
commands by giving the FRED buffer a custom readtable.

Styled text is also possible, see the MCL examples folder (I think) for
style menu items. We use the example code from some release to do this,
although I don't think there's a documented way to extract the style info
from the FRED buffer. This is the MCL wish list I sent to Digitool.
