Actually, a number of the differences in key bindings and behavior between Gosling Emacs and ITS Emacs are due to Mike Kazar. Mike wrote a screen-oriented editor for Tops-10 called FINE. When James wrote his Emacs for Unix, he just copied the FINE key bindings. The funny thing to me about all this is that while some of the changes (like ^T) were intentional, some (like ^X^F bound to exit instead of find file) were simply because Mike mis-remembered the ITS bindings.
