Ups ok, then my attempts do not make sense.

Ok then in  order to get the  desired generalisation for the  remember
function, the following kludge may work.
Since the remember function will be executed in a buffer in which I
am, I have to pass this name to the remember function.

So a simple solution would be, passing a question via the minibuffer:

The modification  I have in mind goes like this

(insert (concat "\n" "Filename: "  (read-string "Filename: " ) \n" ))

when I execute  the  modified function  I am  asked which  filename to
insert, a really primitive solution would be to  insert the full name,
but  I  thought  I could insert  the  name   by  using an  appropriate
function.
