The red(1) manual doesn't mention the command outside the "Name" section.

>Fix:

At the end of the "Synopsis" section, add:

    'red' is the same as 'ed' except that it prohibits the use of
    certain kinds of 'file' argument values, including those that
    would cause 'ed' to execute a shell command and those that
    contain a '/'.  Consider it to be "restricted ed".

That should be improved, but I don't understand the relevant code,
mostly at the bottom of "/usr/src/bin/ed/main.c".
