       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.

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?
