Does edit fail when you run it by itself?

- Do you mean DOS, or do you mean the "Command Prompt"
under Win2000?
- If you mean DOS then you will get the best advice in a DOS
newsgroup.
- If you mean the Command Prompt then you should run notepad.exe,
not edit.exe. The latter is a legacy 16-bit program that should not
be used in a 32-bit environment.
 
Sounds like your edit.exe got corrupted.
