I'll look into adding this. Given the limitations on prefix arg values, I think I'd be restricted to using "C-u C-u" for this. That could mean "prompt for the fill-prefix, and use the default column and justify values", but it might be more useful to instead make it prompt for *everything* -- justify, fill-column, fill-prefix, and maybe left-margin too. The default value would be provided in each case, so you could just RET your way past the ones you didn't want to change. How does that sound? -Phil
