To use edit in win95 just click the start button, then click run, type
in edit and hit enter. You'll still be in windows and using edit. If
you want to view them with true DOS ansi color codes just put a line
in config.sys, like at the end, that says 

devicehigh=c:\windows\command\ansi.sys

then you can fire up the dos prompt from inside windows without
exiting windows and view DOS ansi/ascii files with either the command 

type filename

or the command

more<filename

Hope this helps.
