I have two questions about using read-from-minibuffer in my Emacs Lisp
routines.  First, is there any way to specify where to put the point in the
minibuffer?  It always starts at the end of the default response, which is not
what i want.  Second, is there any way to change the minibuffer prompt,
without actually calling exit-minibuffer and recalling read-from-minibuffer
with the new prompt?  Thanks for any help.
