Angel:

Edlin is a line editor that came from the earliest days of DOS. It's pretty primitive, but it got the job done.

You can download it from:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;124382

It's part of the DOS 6 Supplemental disk.

Believe it or not, EDLIN is also found on Windows XP machines and probably all other window flavors.  It's not used much anymore.

Good luck!
