The answer is you probably can't edit the file in telnet.

In order to do it you would need a text oriented editor. Edit is not a text oriented editor. Edlin is, but I think it went away with Win 3.1. You could ask that vi be installed because that should work with telnet, but you'd have to learn how to use vi. Vi, BTW, is a common unix editor, but there has been at least one free port of it to win32.
