Hi Teemu, hi Drew,

thanks a lot both.

Can still only one argument specify in example above.
Drew presented a solution indeed.

However, after all think Emacs could make a better use of these both 
interactive codes by separating it. It's a kind of interference with "P" 
"p" which makes things more complex then needed and doesn't contribute - 
IMHO.

Will present the matter at emacs-devel.

So far,

Andreas
