Did you create a custom wyrdrc file for Wyrd 1.1?  If so, you will need
to update it slightly for compatibility with Wyrd 1.4.  You may have
set an edit_*_command to a string that no longer makes sense; check
the manual for the updated syntax.

If you're not using a cystom wyrdrc file, then perhaps you don't have a
setting for the EDITOR environment variable.

If it's neither one of these, why don't you contact me off list and I'll
try to help you figure out what's going on.
