Just installed ver. 6.14.4 (32 bit). I am editing a 5.5 gb txt file. When choosing Goto End of File from the menu, it does nothing but moves cursor to beginning of file. Please advise.

Can you do a Visual exit or escape and at the command line, try:

end_of_file()

and see if that works?

if so then you can just setup a simple macro for going to end of file.

You can not edit 5.5 GB file with 32 bit version of Vedit.
The maximum file size is 2 GB.
You can edit files up to 4 GB by splitting the file into smaller files with splitter.vdm macro.
To edit files larger than that, you need the 64 bit version of Vedit.
