I might be wrong, but I assume you meant the /APACHE/PUB/conf/httpd.conf
file.  You probably already knew this, but anyway all the Pos/iX files can
be edited in Qedit.  If you have Qedit:

t /APACHE/PUB/conf/httpd.conf

'Language' is now DATA
Note: LENGTH set to 256
865 lines in file
/

You don't have to do anything special.

I feel your pain. However, /APACHE/PUB/httpd.conf is a bytestream file and
therefore cannot be worked on with EDITOR, symbolic link or no symbolic
link. Generally, it is a bad idea to change bytestream files to MPE-type
files and expect the application, in this case Apache/iX, to act as if
nothing had changed. You could use frombyte to create an MPE-type file, edit
that and then use tobyte to convert back to a bytestream file. But that gets
old fast. What I always recommend is get Samba/iX (thanks to Lars Appel)
running first (if you use SWAT you may be able to avoid any messiness
setting up Samba/iX). Then you can use your favorite PC editor to edit
bytestream files such as httpd.conf directly from your PC.  HTH
