Wyrd author here.  There have not been any complaints about Wyrd-related
emails on this list, so I think this is a good place to ask your
questions.  You can always email me directly if you have any Wyrd
questions that feel excessively off-topic.

No, the %line% and %file% will be automatically filled in by Wyrd.  As
an example, if Wyrd wants to edit line 10 of your default reminders
file, then Wyrd will look at the configuration setting "$EDITOR +%line%
%file%" and translate that to the command "$EDITOR +10 ~/.reminders".
As Thor suggested, the $EDITOR environment variable must be set to a
reasonable editor; vim, emacs, and nano will all work with the above
settings.
