I checked it with this autocommand
au! BufNew *
\ if expand('<afile>') == '' |
\ exe 'file ' . input('Enter file name: ') |
\ else |
\ echomsg 'File already has a name' |
\ endif
It seems to be triggered, but when the 'file' command is executed, VIM
is still in the original buffer thus renaming this one instead of the
new one. One way to circumvent this problem I can think of is to use the
BufNew event to store the new file name in a variable and to use this
variable in a BufEnter event. The following code should do this, but it
is untested:
au! BufNew *
\ if expand('<afile>') == '' |
\ let new_file_name = input('Enter file name: ') |
\ else |
\ echomsg 'File already has a name' |
\ endif
au! BufEnter *
\ if expand('<afile>') == '' && exists('new_file_name') |
\ exe 'file ' . new_file_name |
\ unlet new_file_name |
\ endif

Jürgen
