how to specify previous version of source file in PCL-CVS?

In PCL-CVS documentation, following section describes how to see CVS differentce. It also talks about giving prefix argument to specify previous revision. But I am not able understand what prefix argument should be given for previous revision.

d e

This uses ediff (or emerge, depending on ‘cvs-idiff-imerge-handlers’) to allow you to view diffs. If a prefix argument is given, PCL-CVS will prompt for a revision against which the diff should be made, else the default will be to use the BASE revision.

Thanks.

In general, prefix arguments in Emacs are given by prefixing a command with C-u followed by an optional argument.

In this case, it doesn't sounds like it matters what the argument is, so C-u d e should cause Emacs to prompt you for a revision.
