Thanks Drews and Teemu,

think I know the docu, maybe I didn't understood it correctly.

IMO the code "p" sends the numerical argument, while "P" the Prefix 
value introduced with C-u

So if I do M-NUMBER, "P" should send nothing.
whilst C-u M-command

both should send their defaults, ie "p" 1 and "P" (4)

?

Cheers,
