How to edit sourcecode of minix os using VirtualBox

[Tommmmy]

Hi I can't seem to figure out for the life of me what command is required to open a source file in a text editor using virtualbox. I am running Minux inside the VB and go to a selected directory and type ls to view all files, but I don't know the windows xp command to open a file in a text editor. On linux i simple type $ emacs sourcefile. Under windows xp I have tried EDIT sourcefile but I get A "no suce file or directory" error message.

So far I have found two inbuilt editors (elle) and (mined) which are both extremely difficult to use. I wish I could just open a file in a simple text editor...

Looks like this is my only viable way, grrrr

The standard ASCII text editor in Windows is called Notepad. People don't normally run this from the command line (Windows is not Linux), however it is quite possible - just type notepad <filename>.
