Now that my attempt to write unnamed buffer under

My first attempt does not work. Autoevent is ot invoked.

function! TempName()
   let x=1
   while filereadable("/tmp/".x)
       let x = x + 1
   endwhile
   return "/tmp/".x
endfun

au BufNew * if(expand('<afile>') == '') | call input("AAA") | endif
au BufNew * if(expand('<afile>') == '') | exe "file ".TempName() | endif

Yakov

add for debugging

        echo <afile> |

before the "if". If it still doesn't work, add <nested> to the autocommand.
