It was actually edit.com, but it's not on my Win7 install, prolly cuz its 
64-bit.

Why wouldn't you want to use notepad though?

I miss edlin :)

edit.exe still works.  On the odd chance I need to edit from the command line I 
use that.  I can't think of the last time I had to use it though.

Ah... I need to clarify:

Both Ultraedit and Notepad+ are in the GUI. I'm looking for a good text-only 
full screen editor. Think "edit.exe" back in MS-Dos 6.0" days.

Anybody have a recommendation for one of those?
