Edit command in cmd.exe

[summi]

Edit command is not working in DOS prompt.It is working under C:\WINNT\System32 but not working under C:\ only.At this stage i got the message
'EDIT' is not recognised as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
Similarly i cann't run other commands which r there in a hidden folder MSDOS7 under C:\.please help me on this topic.

If you have a file called AUTOEXEC.BAT in C:\ ,
edit the file and add the line
PATH C:\;C:\MSDOS7;%PATH%
(assuming that the directory MSDOS7 exists in C:\).
If there is no AUTOEXEC.BAT , use EDIT to write the
line, and save it as C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
