   To: help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org


       I am trying to write an interactive function that prompts
   for a filename, placing point at the end of the prompt and mark
   somewhere earlier in the path.

   [desired behavior]

Well, it's most polite to wait until the message is complete
before acknowledging receipt.  You can complete it by asking a
specific question or posting code that demonstrates your efforts
to date (along with a specific question).  Until then, you are
tempting the crass to respond with their own (possibly incomplete)
messages, which might be fun, too, i suppose.

Does that make sense?
