you can do it already -- i just tried it with Lynx 2-7 -- :
^P goes to previous space or punctuation (i tried only / );
^B deletes everything to ditto (ie word or part thereof).
the line editor must be covered in the help files somewhere
(or i wouldn't have known these commands), but i don't know where.
