The ‘set-selective-display’ command […] is bound to ‘C-x $’ in

How do I specify the number of columns when using "C-x $"?
You will remember, from doing the Emacs tutorial when you first learned
Emacs, that all commands have a “prefix argument” available
<URL:https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/PrefixArgument> that the command
can use to modify its behaviour.
So, use the prefix argument to specify the number of columns for
‘set-selective-display’.
E.g.:
M-9 C-x $ # Indentation >= 9 disappears.
C-u C-x $ # Indentation >= 4 disappears.
C-u 1 3 C-x $ # Indentation >= 13 disappears.
C-u C-u C-u $ # Indentation >= 64 disappears.
C-x $ # All lines reappear.
etc.
Same for using the command at the M-x prompt. I type "M-x" and see the
M-x prompt, then then type "set-selective-display" using tab to
autocomplete it. But I can't then type a column number after a space
or in parens or anything. What am I missing?
Time to work through the Emacs tutorial again; ‘C-h t’ :-)
