John,
It is common practice to run a 3 wire w/ground to the kitchen sink area.
The purpose is to provide one dedicated circuit to the dish washer and
another to the disposer without having to run two separate wire runs.
Inside the sheath, the red wire would be hot to one item while the black
would be hot to the other. The white and ground wires are common to
both circuits.
At the CB panel, this kind of circuit *must* be wired to a double
breaker, commonly referred to as a 220v. The reason is that the red and
black wires need to be out of phase; otherwise you could overload the
white wire.
Hope this helps you with your dad's setup.

When the idiot wire up dad's new dishwasher he didn't check the line.
Turns out it
was a 220V line going to the dishwasher. The 115V dishwasher said to
hook
the black
wire to the black, the White wire to the white, and the green to the
copper
wire.
Wait, I don't have a copper wire, I've got a Red wire. But the wire is
copper. So
that should work. :)
