This has more to do with Cisco's IOS command line being a direct clone of the TOPS-20 "Exec" than XKL attempting to clone Cisco's interface.

The first time I sat down at a TOPS-20 box, I could see the genetic similarity.

Also, I was not presuming XKL cloned Cisco - considering the shared provenance of it all.
