Thanks Alex! This is very elegant and concise. And it works. One other problem I noticed with my Vip (this is under Termux) is that for some reason it won't allow me to exit insert mode. It worked fine yesterday and I have no idea what changed. Initially I thought it might be some escaping issue, i.e. Esc/C-[ being interpreted as some other symbol, but it works fine for Vim (both Esc and C-[). What I'm getting now is that pressing Esc results in an open bracket being inserted into the buffer. No way to return to command mode. When I fresh instance of Vip, I can enter commands normally. But the first switch to insert mode breaks things. I was worried that perhaps messed something up in the "vip.l" file I had open on the side, but have since replaced its contents with the upstream version and even reinstalled Picolisp and the issue persists.
