The odds are it's pico.  That's what I think the local freenet had as
a default when I used it some years back, and the description fits.

Pico does have a way to cut multiple lines at once.  It even shows the
command to do this on the status line sometimes if it detects too many
Ctrl-K keypresses.  Unfortunately, the command to set the start of a
block is some Ctrl-punctuation combination that's untypable on half
the keyboards I've used, making the whole feature rather less useful.
