You can make a shell script which calls joe:

  stty stop ^-
  stty start ^-
  setenv DOPADDING 1
  joe $*
  stty stop ^S
  stty start ^Q

This won't work on all systems though, you can't always disable ^S/^Q 
because you might be going through a terminal server.

I'm not sure how safe this is to do, but I could try to have joe disable 
start/stop only while it's waiting for input.  It wouldn't be perfect since 
you wouldn't be able to type ahead these characters while the screen is 
being updated.

Also, if you just need to enter a Ctrl-S into the file, just hit ` s (Joe's 
quoting mechanism translates @ - _, a - z, and ?  into the corresponding 
ctrl chars)
