The ^ was used on early shells as an alternative to

this works under Xenix on the Tandy-6000). I don't think it's supported
anymore (much like @ to erase a line is no longer used).
^ as a pipe still works in 'sh' (Bourne shell) but not in 'ksh' (Korn
shell). I don't know about 'bash'.
@ to erase a line is a different issue; that's a function of stty (the norm
these days is ctrl-U), like DEL vs ctrl-C.

Cool! ...but it doesn't work for me on a Red Hat 7.0 machine:
[kentborg@borg kentborg]$ ls ^ more
ls: ^: No such file or directory
ls: more: No such file or directory
[kentborg@borg kentborg]$ sh
sh-2.04$ ls ^ more
ls: ^: No such file or directory
ls: more: No such file or directory
sh-2.04$ exit

However, it doesn't work on IRIX 6.5.10 either... though it DOES work on
solaris 8. huh...

OK, so I tried it on a genuine "sh" (that we have running on an
in-progress embedded project), and it does work.

On RedHat to ls -lsia and see /bin/bash is linked to /bin/sh -- so
you're getting bash.
The sh on FreeBSD (ash based) and pdksh and real AT&T ksh no longer do
it either.
