I just download borland c++ 5.5 and can not use the command "edit" in the Command Promt. When I used the first time, i accessed the Ms-dos board but not now. Any idea

I have no idea what that means.
What happens when you type "edit" nad press ENTER?
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

I receive this message: edit is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. So, it supose I should access to the Ms-dos window, right.

That msg means that the EDItexecutable which is a standard part of XP somehow got lost.
You can get a fresh copy from your XP CD.
Or get any text editor you like and rename it to EDIT.exe or EDIT.com
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

Sounds good, but how may I do a file edit.exe or edit.com and where do I have to save it ?
Thanks

You can put the executable anywhere in the PATH.
You can see what the PATH is by typing SET.
The standard place for it is:
C:\winnt\system32

Hello: I opened Notepad and I saved a file named edit.exe and another one edit.com I saved both in C: but nothing happen with the command edit, I can not use it. Maybe these files could have any data. I couldn't find C:\winnt\system32 neither. Anyway, thank you

That's great, but you're not about to create any sort of executable file with a text editor
You're lost, and need to buy a map and figure out where you are and where you're trying to go
good luck
