And when trying to read the documentation on 'interactive' I nowhere detected where the "\nP" convention is described (which apparently turns a function's last (?) argument into the prefix argument).

The fact that 'delete-windows-on' is the only function (together with its 'quit-window-on' clone) with the inverted meaning of the FRAME/ALL-FRAMES argument makes me doubt that such an interpretation would make sense. But since I don't know how to specify prefix args in the first place I'm probably not really entitled to such a comment. martin
