I just tried:-
macro attach S "<save-entry><bol>~/tmp/<enter>" "Save to ~/tmp"
and it sort of works but it's a bit laborious because you have to accept
the directory to save to and then enter the file name to save to. However
simply changing it to:-
macro attach S "<save-entry><bol>~/tmp/<eol>" "Save to ~/tmp"
does exactly what I want, it offers to save the file with the existing
attachment filename in ~/tmp, just hit CR and it's saved.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
