China DOS Union

Can text files be edited in a pure DOS environment

Can you speak in more detail? I'm a newbie. It's troublesome.

If you are MS-DOS, you can directly run edit, and then create and open files for editing in the file menu.

The command edit 1.txt (add the absolute address for the file you want to edit)
For example, edit c:\1.txt
If (pure DOS should not support it) the mouse is not supported, you can use alt+f to save after editing
When saving, you also need to bring the file extension; otherwise, the saved file will have no file extension

In pure DOS, using this EDIT does support the mouse, of course, provided that the mouse driver is loaded (such as CTMOUSE and so on).

If you want to edit files in Chinese characters, do you need to install a Chinese localization software?

It's not a localized software, but something like UCDOS and so on.

Oh, just use COPY CON filename. suffix (txt) and then when exiting, press CTRL+Z and then enter.

Oh, I see. Just use "COPY CON filename.suffix (txt)" and when you want to exit, press CTRL+Z and then enter.

You're very good, the input is correct

Actually, you can use "copy con" to edit many plain text files. Both DOC and TXT files can be edited under MS-DOS.
