Subject: Run Non-Interactive Function with Prefix
Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 12:41:13 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ach6dbh2.fsf@be.cs.appstate.edu> (raw)

If I want to execute a function that supports a "prefix" argument
interactively, I enter something like:

     C-u M-x foobar

How can I do the same thing but *non*-interactively?

This will just run 'foobar',

     (foobar)

But how to request it to be run with a prefix arg?


Something simple I am sure, but I can't seem to find a way to do it.

Thanks for your ideas!
