I might be able to shine some light on that.

Long ago I wrote boxes, designed to be a starting point for a generic
editor / pager for toybox.  It included very basic implementations of
less, more, and several well known text editors, including vi.  All done
as wrappers around a common core.

Even after trimming it down to just an example shell line editor, it was
deemed too big to read.
