Well, a little more specific information would be helpful. DOS is dumb. It needs to be told where the program you want to run is located. So, to run the DOS editor you could type at the prompt: c:\dos\edit\filename.txt to open up the file in the editor. If that still doesn't work, the program may be corrupted or it may not be installed.

In the old versions of DOS--6.22 and before EDIT.COM was less than 1000 bytes long. It had to have QBASIC.EXE in the same directory before it would work. So check that QBASIC.EXE is in the DOS directroy if you have the 900 byte EDIT.COM.
