C-u is `universal-argument'. You can try this for
example with C-u c
cccc (4 c's)
or, C-u C-u c
cccccccccccccccc (4**2 = 16 c's)
or, C-u C-u C-u c
cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
(4**3 = 64 c's)
or, C-u 3 c
ccc (3 c's)
and so on.
What you describe is because there isn't any
"mpkg-master-file" variable. So you either need to
load the mode programmatically with `require' or
`load', or go to a situation (state) in Emacs wich
implies it, "the mode" being whatever
module has the variable defined.
You can look for it with
C-h v mpkg-master-file RET
is it there?
