I don't think that universe on NT includes any form of VI, or any other full screen editor out of the box. You can make your changes using ED, as some other respondants have demonstrated, but if you don't want to learn ED incantations, you could copy your items to a type 1 file (similar to a DIR file in unidata) and use windows notepad/wordpad or good old DOS EDIT or whatever you have. Depending on the editor you choose, getting the value and subvalue marks into the item could be a problem, but I've always had luck using cut and paste on the marks that are already in the item, or you could use the windows ALT-0253 sequence (on the numeric keypad) to enter a value mark, and ALT-0252 to enter a sub-value, or you could fire up charmap (if it's installed) and cut and paste from that.
