If you hit RET you'll get the default value just the same. (defun erc-other-frame (&optional server) (interactive (list (let ((default "irc.freenode.net")) (read-string (format "Server (%s): " default) nil nil default) ))) (switch-to-buffer-other-frame (erc :server server)) ) Personally, I don't do frames, so this comment is only about the interactive stuff.
