That is why I do like this: (defun my-multi-input-function (&optional input1 input2 input3) "An example function that takes three inputs and displays them." (interactive) (let ((input1 (or input1 (read-string "Enter the first input: "))) (input2 (or input2 (read-string "Enter the second input: "))) (input3 (or input3 (read-string "Enter the third input: ")))) (message "You entered: %s, %s, %s" input1 input2 input3))) Then you can call function: (my-multi-input-function input1 input2 input3) or if those are nil, it will ask you. -- Jean Louis
