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.
Try something like this:
(defun minibuffer-adjust-point-kludge ()
(interactive)
(goto-char minibuffer-point)
(define-key minibuffer-local-map "\C-a" nil))
(let ((minibuffer-local-map minibuffer-local-map)
(unread-command-char ?\C-a)
(minibuffer-point 5))
(define-key minibuffer-local-map "\C-a" 'minibuffer-adjust-point-kludge)
(read-from-minibuffer "Prompt: " "initial contents"))
