G'morning Jimmy,

 MM> Err....  what version EDIT ?

 JD> Don't know the version, it's with DOS 6.22.  Under "properties"
 JD> all I get is "file created unknown", "file modified 5/31/94."

You prompted me to do the obvious on this version of W95, when I got....


MS-DOS Editor   Version 2.0.026   Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp 1995.
 
EDIT [/B] [/H] [/R] [/S] [/<nnn>] [/?] [file(s)]
 
  /B       - Forces monochrome mode.
  /H       - Displays the maximum number of lines possible for your hardware.
  /R       - Load file(s) in read-only mode.
  /S       - Forces the use of short filenames.
  /<nnn>   - Load binary file(s), wrapping lines to <nnn> characters wide.
  /?       - Displays this help screen.
  [file]   - Specifies initial files(s) to load.  Wildcards and multiple
             filespecs can be given.

A bit later than your edition - but still no word wrap !

Suggest you hunt down a copy of VDE ...  you'll not regret it.

 JD>  Have a great day!

And you ...
