hi, 

for interactive functions, the prefix argument becomes part of the
argument list, if it is referenced in the interactive declaration. you
can read more about it here:

	(info "(elisp)Prefix Command Arguments")

so if you want to call an interactive function from a program, you
have to figure out which argument corresponds to the prefix
argument. in the worst case scenario, you have to parse the
interactive declaration yourself. but since there already is code that
does just that, chances are you don't have to. 

regards, 

anselm
