That Crazy Caret

As I recall, the caret is an old, abandoned equivalent to the pipe character |.
Thus, to quote your message:

	Example:
	
	            ls ^date
	
	gives the date and nothing more.
	
	Also:
	
	            date ^pwd
	
	shows the current directory and nothing more.

I thought this was documented somewhere (maybe in old V7 documentation?),
but a quick glance in the obvious places revealed nothing.

Oh well....
