unless you're on Windows, where edlin is the true standard editor.

as you can see, Microsoft's usability team has made some massive
improvements (note how well it deals with the "eat flaming death"
command):

C:\> edlin
Filename missing.

C:\> edlin spam
New file.
*help
Syntax error.
*quit
Do you want to abort (Yes=Y, No=N)? n
Syntax error.
*exit

C:\>edlin spam
End of input file.
*hello?
Syntax error.
*eat flaming death

C:\>edlin foo
End of input file.

*^C

*^D
Syntax error.
*^Z
Syntax error.
