SUMMARY
=======
When EDIT.COM is executed in MS-DOS versions 5.0 and later, it invokes
QBASIC.EXE with the /EDITOR switch. If QBASIC.EXE is not in either the same
directory as EDIT.COM or on the path, EDIT.COM is unable to find QBASIC.EXE and
the following message is displayed:
Cannot find file QBASIC.EXE
You can correct this problem by using one of the following methods:
- Add the directory that contains QBASIC.EXE to the path.
- Copy QBASIC.EXE to a directory already on the path.
- Copy QBASIC.EXE to the same directory as EDIT.COM.
While none of these solutions is extremely complicated, the second and third
solutions are easier than the first.
