Sounds like your paths might be wrong or if you are using a floppy disk it might not have been included. Can you give us more info of what version of dos you are running and how you are getting to ms-dos?

Edit.com should be in your system32 directory so %windir%\system32\edit.com should start it.

verify if default values for "Path" are in your enviroment variables (win+break, advanced). "C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;" must be there. Do not forget ";" to separate the paths.

if it does not solve it, try restoring your Windows with the CD.
