The editor to which you are referring is MG, which is a variant of
MicroEmacs that has the "look and feel" of GNU Emacs.  It lacks the
Lisp language that miracles like abbrev and dabbrev mode are written in.

A real port of GNU Emacs would occupy much more than just one disk in
Fred Fish's collection.  One disk would barely be enough to hold the
executable binary.
