The plus sign is not redundant; the plus sign is needed to tell joe what 
line to start editing on.  You'll edit a different file without the plus

I suggest taking any further discussion on this point to a joe mailing 
list because what program calls joe isn't the issue here, only joe's 
behavior is relevant.
