It's good to at least learn you're not alone... I tried out using call-interactively, but at least in the case of bookmark-jump, it does not seem to work to fool the function into thinking it is being called interactively and fed args 1, 2, 3 to the prompts that its (interactive ...) form normally generates. Rather, it seems to make the function think that there is a user waiting to input something, i.e. it starts displaying its prompts. Reading the documentation more closely, I realise I could have known that, as the optional arguments have a different meaning anyway. Regards, Florian
