Right. It should go like this:

Select your Ratpoison key. It comes up with a bunch of options. C- is 
control, M is either alt or shift

Super_L is what I go for, left Super key
Then if you got multiple browsers, text editors and so on it'll ask you 
which one, then it'll ask if you want Ratpoison to make sounds, how many 
workspaces, and if you want braille, then after that you'll have a 
.ratpoisonrc file

Next, either back up your existing xinitrc somewhere safe, or do 
./setup.sh -x to make a new .xinitrc with Ratpoison settings then do startx
