I think you are excused, because the manual page says that the syntax is

   jed [--secure] [--batch|--script|--help] [options] file ...
	 
i.e. the <file> argument comes last. In this case it doesn't. I attach
a patch against the manual page that maybe John would consider.

Btw, if you want more that just this very simple sh_mode that ships with
Jed, I have made one that also indents code, etc. and which is included in
my Github repository:

   git clone https://github.com/mortenivar/Jed-modes.git

Morten
