Marilyn;

I was abut to post my question:

Win 7, 64-bit: Using Edit in Command Prompt Window ??

when I realized that you had actually answered it.

So just to make sure, in Win 7 Pro 64-bit, the DOS Editor is not available.

Correct ??

Regards.

The "edit.com" program is no longer provided as part of Windows.  You'll need to seek a replacement for it.

Answer 4

You can use the edit command in Windows 7.

Open the start menu and search "command."

Open it and type "edit file.txt"

However, the edit is not available in 64-bit versions of Windows 7.
