Simple questions provoke simple answers: RTFM.
But Garth's reply shows another facet of
edit. So my query is, what exactly do you mean by "edit"?
There exist some string manipulation commands in several plugin modules, but that's rather for programming. In contrast the HP41CX offers an
ED command, just save your alpha register to an ASCII file in XM, execute ED, modify the text, end edit and recall the chaned record. Simple as that. (No, actually not, it lacks a spell-checker.)
But -- I recomend to count the key strokes to achieve a change, may be type the text again might win. And a "finished" text in alpha can be put to imput mode again (see a. m. simple answer), so if the change is close to the RHS, this is probably your choice.
Best,
