How does your 'editor=' line in your config look? Does it say:
# editor program
editor=c:\qedit\q.exe
or is there anything trailing after 'exe', like %f or something
like that? There shouldn't be, because Yarn passes these
variables along when preparing the reply to be edited.
If nothing's trailing behind, are you sure the path to your
editor is correct? If so, try to put the path to your editor
into your autoxec-path, and call your editor with 'q.exe' or
even 'q' only. You can also experiment with DOS' edit.com.
That one should always work.
