There are many other ways to write such code and the shape if the code has no importance to `interactive`. All that matters for `interactive` is the *value* that is returned when the code is done running. So you can use your above code (re-indented here, and removed the initial value which is not helpful here (rarely is)): (defun myfun (type other-arg) (interactive (let ((rqmatch t) (dflt "extended") (cseq '("expression" "mixed"))) (message "This is a message") (list (completing-read "Flare_type: " cseq nil rqmatch nil nil dflt) (completing-read "Other_arg: " cseq nil rqmatch nil nil dflt)))) ...) or (defun myfun (type other-arg) (interactive (list (let ((rqmatch t) (dflt "extended") (cseq '("expression" "mixed")) ) (message "This is a message") (completing-read "Flare_type: " cseq nil rqmatch nil nil dflt)) (let ((rqmatch t) (dflt "extended") (cseq '("expression" "mixed")) ) (message "This is another message") (completing-read "Flare_type: " cseq nil rqmatch nil nil dflt)))) ...) or (defun myfun (type other-arg) (interactive (let ((rqmatch t) (dflt "extended") (cseq '("expression" "mixed"))) (message "This is a message") (let ((x (completing-read "Flare_type: " cseq nil rqmatch nil nil = dflt)) (y (completing-read "Other_arg: " cseq nil rqmatch nil nil d= flt))) `(,x ,y)))) ...) or (defun myfun (type other-arg) (interactive (let ((rqmatch t) (dflt "extended") (cseq '("expression" "mixed"))) (message "This is a message") (mapcar (lambda (prompt) (completing-read prompt cseq nil rqmatch nil nil dflt)) '("Flare_type: " "Other_arg: ")))) ...) or ... -- Stefan
