What is the edit command for 64-bit Windows 7?

Execute copy con note.txt

and type text, finish with Ctrl-Z.


There is none. EDIT is a 16-bit DOS program, and Windows 7 x64 doesn't support 16-bit applications. If you need to edit text files via the command line in 64-bit Windows, you will need to use a third party application like VIM.


If you are looking for a replacement console text editor, Brief Basic is a single .exe file and uses pretty standard keyboard shortcuts.

The original 16-bit version of Brief was widely used in the MS-DOS days.
