Re: Ncat Users' Guide RFC

Hi,
You might want to elaborate the following paragraph in the "Command
execution" section a bit more. It isn't easily comprehended on the first
read. May be statement reordering is needed(?).

The --exec option (alias -e) takes as an argument the full pathname of the
command to be executed, along with any arguments. Apart from argument
splitting, the command is not interpreted, only executed with exec.
--sh-exec (-c) is the same, except that it executes the command by passing
it to */bin/sh -c*. That means that it's not necessary to use the full
pathname of the command if it lies in the PATH, environment variable
references are expanded, and any other shell interpretation is done.

Reading the rest of the document...
