Looking for Windows Notepad equivalent for DOS (Users)

There are tons ot ext editors out there. Here's a web site that lists several:

Everybody has a preferred editor they use and the opinions can get almost religious in their fervor as to which one is "best".

The fancier ones will handle large files, multiple files at the same time, a good clipboard function, _configurable_ syntax highlighting (very handy when working with program source code), _configurable_ keyboard layout, etc.

I have two that I use all the time, one "fancy" program with all the extra features and a small, simple one that is only a few kB (easily fits on a floppy with lots of other files) and I use on boot disks for editing things like small batch files and CONFIG.SYS.

I think you're just going to need to experiment until you find what you're looking for.
