LYNX-DEV LYNX: add control-W (backup 1 word)?

On Sun, at least, you can hit, in addition to control-u (erase line)
and backspace, control-w, which backs up one unix "word", ie
until it sees prior whitespace (I think that is the rule for
control-W).

Anyway, would be nice while entering things like descriptions
for pages being bookmarked (via the "a" cmd).

Or perhaps a different rule, especially when entering
web addresses, to back up to prior punctuation, especially
a slash.

Maybe there is some existing routine (at least on unix)
that one could call, which would do that.

And maybe a similar routine for dos or whatever,
that would duplicate the usual situation THERE.

Just an idea...
