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? Hochachtungsvoll, Bernhard R.
