+(What if you do want to insert five copies of @samp{0}? Type @kbd{M-5
+C-u 0}. Here, @kbd{C-u} ``terminates'' the prefix argument, so that
+the next keystroke begins the command that you want to execute. Note

- You can also specify a numeric argument by typing @kbd{C-u}
-(@code{universal-argument}) followed by the digits. The advantage of
-@kbd{C-u} is that you can type the digits without holding down the
-@key{META} key. For a negative argument, type a minus sign after
-@kbd{C-u}. A minus sign without digits normally means @minus{}1.
+ Instead of typing @kbd{M-1}, @kbd{M-2}, and so on, another way to
+specify a numeric argument is to type @kbd{C-u}

@kbd{C-u} alone has the special meaning of ``four times'': it
multiplies the argument for the next command by four. @kbd{C-u C-u}
