There has been a spate of FB postings, reminding folk that Larry Tesler 
created cut and paste.

My confusion is that I'd swear Tenex (and maybe Top-10 and maybe one or 
another system at MIT) had ctl-C and ctl-V and probably ctl-X in the 
earliest 1970s, if not earlier.  References to Tesler's innovation say 
it was at Parc.

Anyone care with resolve the confusion?
