	(defun mytest (n)
	  " Test"
	  ; (interactive "nEnter number: ")
	  (interactive (list (read-number "Enter number: ")))
	  (message "%d was entered" n))
	
	With both versions of the interactive statement I have the
      same effect: the prompt comes back as long as I do not enter anything.
	
	I am running emacs22 on Debian lenny.
	Do I need a special setting to achive what I want?

You said you wanted to use the default value if the user hit Return with typing
anything first. For that, use (read-number "Number: " MY-DEFAULT), as I
suggested before.
