Although this is mailed to gnu.emacs may I point you to the
existence of MicroEmacs, a small version for many OS'ses
available. I have this running unde vms4.7. This uses SMG$... for
all the screen manipulation and keyboard manipulation. As I only
have proper Digital equipment I don't know whether non-ANIS will
be supported. Free copies are available on many sites, e.g.
simtel20. Version 3.10 in the present.
