Ok what i want to do is, you know i use telnet to connect to unix server. then i type some commands to get something done. what i want is when i want to display text, i want that text to open in ms word or some other text editor. basically i want to display the contents of a unix text file in my visual text editor software in windows.

Heh... your elaborated alright.
As far as using telnet to do that I would say its not a common task and it could be done but you would have write a custom telnet application to bring the file back for editing.
Long answer -- I'm sure you could find a way to do it.
Short answer -- No its not possible.
You could use remoting if you have an X server on the remote machine. Install nano on the UNIX server. It is a very painless text editor like notepad. I have never bothered to use or learn VI to this day. Between sed, awk, grep, cat, etc I can modify a text file without using that damn editor!
