seanq's Win95/NT version of sam implements the Crtl-X/C/V as well as
allowing Crl-W to delete the word to the left of the cursor, and
Ctrl-U to delete leftwards to beginning of line (I think these are
remnants of 8-1/2).

And if you want source, I remember in the list-archives a mail from
someone who had ported sam to Win; they might be willing to pass it on.

(and speaking of source, even if someone gets the Win32.exe, they
should also get sam.shar because that includes a troff -ms encoded
tutorial on using sam, something that is sorely needed, especially
as the PDF of the 1987 paper doesn't print back-ticks (') so the
one big example of changing 'n' to 'num' reads incorrectly)
