I've checked in the emacs manual as well as googled but I still can't find it. Imagine for example, that I want to issue move-to-column to put point at column 17 on the current line. I can do this: C-u 17 M-x move-to-column However, according to it's doc string move-to-column takes, in addition to the first argument, a second optional one. How can I pass this second argument if I'm issuing the function interactively? Thanks in advance for any replies! -exits __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
