normally you done:
<your normal ssh command with all options>

with usewithtor you do:
usewithtor <your normal ssh command with all options>

It does really not matter on which port Tor. Tor is mostly on port 9050
but webservers on port 80. It first goes to port 9050 and Tor will process
your request and you'll connect to port 80.

Same with ssh. Option are the same. Just apply them as usual. All extra
options given will be forwarded from usewithtor to the ssh client.
