From Wikipedia
MS-DOS Editor, commonly just called edit or edit.com, is a TUI text editor. Originally, it was a 16-bit application that shipped with MS-DOS 5.0 and later, as well as all 32-bit x86 versions of Windows. It supersedes edlin, the standard editor in earlier versions of MS-DOS. Originally, EDIT.COM was a stub that ran QBasic in editor mode. Starting with Windows 95, MS-DOS Editor became a standalone program because QBasic did not ship with Windows. In 2025, Microsoft released a free and open-source remake.
