Hi Larry,
Wasn't there a version that was
cat whatever ^ wc -l
It existed for quite a while in Bourne's shell even when | came along
and was useful when the keyboard didn't have a | keycap or, more likely,
when it was a modern machine with the capability of mapping keys which
had a poor mapping with no | available.

Cheers, Ralph.
