Description
There is already a TYPE command, its complement would be an EDIT command to edit text files in a simple way.
There are lots of text file editors out there, this would standardize the access and make it something accessible anywhere you are on the disk. Perfect for making notes about programs as you are working inside the system. Additionally, it rounds out the CMD utility belt with read and write programs for anyone using ProDOS.

Research direction
Start by examining the existing TYPE command and the other CMD utilities to understand how ProDOS commands read and write text files. Define the scope of the simple EDIT interaction, including how text is entered, changed, saved, and exited. Done means an EDIT command is available anywhere on the disk and supports basic editing of text files.
