I agree that "Notepad" or any other text editor for that matter is far
better that the DOS command line for any text file, for editing text
files with more than two or three lines.
It is, however a very convenient way of creating a small text file,
very quickly. Most people may not also realise that it is a quick
way of creating an empty file, or destroying the contents of an
existing file !!
