Narrative:

After landing with a 10 KT quartering tailwind, the control of the aircraft was transferred from the first officer, who made the approach and landing, to the captain. The aircraft began to veer to the right at which point the captain attempted to engage the nose wheel steering by pulling the speed levers to the low position. The aircraft did not respond so the override button to the nose wheel steering was depressed. This too was not effective in gaining control of the aircraft. The aircraft came to rest on the edge of the runway, the main wheels still on the pavement and the nose wheel about 4' off of the pavement. There were no injuries and no aircraft damage.
