I haven't seen it in TOPS-10. ITS doesn't have that on the "command line", but then interaction with DDT isn't (and arguably shouldn't be) very "wordy" anyway. Of course, TECO and EMACS has word erase. And ^W is erase between cursor and mark so that's similar. Warner Losh writes: > ^T made it into BSD and lives on to this day in the BSDs.
