This came up because I wanted to edit something real quick on a Win2K8R2 
server... and 'edit' didn't work. 

I just tried it on my domain controller... it said it wasn't there, either.

I just checked around a bit... looks like 'nano' is available for Windows... 
which makes me very happy. If anybody does have another suggestions, I'm still 
interested.
