My experience with Primos is (fortunately!) about 4 years in the past,
but Prime does market a product called Emacs. I was never able to pry a
manual out of anybody, but I did successfully manage to use it without a
manual. The bindings (as I recollect) are Gosmacs compatible, and the
only peculiarities I can remember are (1) it asked you what terminal
type you were on each time you ran it; (2) some frequently used Emacs
characters (I can't remember which ones, but ^S comes to mind) got
trapped by the system. 

You might check Craig Finseth's periodic posting of Emacs-inspired
editors for more info.
