Well, as I said if you don't mind smaller text and buying a slightly larger bag there
are quite a few pretty nice word processors out there, and most of them have either RS232,
USB or wireless transfer capability built in. If you're lucky you might even find one
with its own bag ;-)
For example there's the NTS Dream Writer series; e.g.:

or the Alphasmarts; e.g.:

Radio Shack M100 (if you've got a large
pocket); still used by some writers for the very reason you mention.

I was also thinking of something a little bit bigger, such as the M100.
The Cambridge Z88 is an excellent machine and they are still being sold
new in box.
