we know that through absolute pathname we can see the content of files of other directory working in the present directory but can we edit it while working in the present directory.

There is no difference between the flavors.... *nix is *nix.

When you edit it, you simply use the same full (absolute) path that you would when you view the directory contents:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. vi /path/to/file.txt
  2.  
Hope that helps.

Regards,

Jeff
