Replace can be quite a usefull tool, but why anyone would want to use edlin is beyond me.  I used to use it to edit my autoexec.bat and config.sys files way back in the early DOS days, but as soon as DOS started shipping with QBASIC (whose editor was invoked by the "edit" command) I was happy to never use it again.
