I think I don't understand this sentence:
"Positions are counted starting from 1 at the beginning of the list."
I thought HIST is a 1-based list, but it is still 0-based. Could you
make the doc-string a bit clearer? Thanks.
For example, 0 works just fine:
(let ((hist '("a" "b" "c")))
(read-from-minibuffer "Prompt: " nil nil nil '(hist . 0)))
M-p => "a"
