Everyone can use TextEdit it's a low-end word processor. Open your Applications folder, then TextEdit. Locate the .vmx file above using the instructions in

When you find the .vmx file, drag the .vmx icon to the TextEdit icon in the dock. TextEdit will read-in the .vmx contents so you can make the changes. Repeat for the preferences file.

The link above also has the same instructions in the "Customizing the virtual machine's mouse settings for playing games" section.
