Bash Yank Question

["david" <scifast@f-m.fm>]

Hello.

Here are some lines from the manual of bash:

  yank-nth-arg (M-C-y)
              Insert the first argument to the previous  command 
              (usually  the  second
              word  on the previous line) at point.  With an argument n,
              insert the nth
              word from the previous command (the words in the previous 
              command  begin
              with  word  0).  A negative argument inserts the nth word
              from the end of
              the previous command.

My question is: How do I give it the argument n?

What I want to do is to be able to insert the 2nd argument from the
previous command at the point whith a shortcut like M-C-y.

Thanks.
