I may be confused. You're just asking for how to open any file for editing? If so, in a shell just type:

Code:

vi /path/to/file/filename

Might actually want to 'man vi' before you do that so you'll know how it works.

And if I completely misunderstood your question, just ignore me and let me think I helped.
