Acutally the man page already describes -c as:

  Send ratpoison a command.  There must be a  ratpoison instance  running  as
  window manager for the given display/screen for this to work.  Do not forget
  to quote the command if it contains spaces.

Do you have any suggestion for a notice easier to grasp? Perhaps only
adding some example would be enough?
