As far as can recall, DOS programs used shift-delete, control-insert and shift-insert long before Windows programs also began accepting C-x, C-c, and C-v, but the latter are actually much older, being derived from Macintosh's command-x, command-c, and command-v. This was probably derived from the Lisa, but I don't know for sure.
