A number of such beasts are in the various comp.sources.* archives.  Examples:
GA Tech "se" (an extended /bin/ed-clone with a screen mode, but different from
the ex/vi style), and TVX (both in the c.s.unix archives, I believe).  Also,
there are sources for MicroEMACS and STevie in the c.s.misc archives; with
source, either or both could be modified to support online help (and with
MicroEMACS you could also add a help macro bound to F1 or something like
that).  Also from the c.s.misc archive is CRISP, a Brief-clone.
