Problem results when OS user does not have write permission to write file (afiedt.buf) to the current directory.
the solution is to invoke sqlplus only from any directory where current OS user can create a new file.

The problem is not with the edit command but the fact that an afiedt.buf cannot be created in your current directory. You do not have "write" rights.
