If you didn't know, how would you tell?
EDIT.COM just ran
qbasic.exe /edit %1
... there was no mention of or sign of QBASIC in the end result.
?And since I can be sure which

is PATH is not used, then it must be EDIT.COM that is being executed.
Edit.*com* if you were running on MS-DOS 5 through 6.22. This means QBASIC.
Edit.*exe* if you were running on Win95 or later. This is the
standalone, multi-file editor.
Simple as that.
I must be missing something in your explanation.
Or mine...
