Reading what you described made me think of James TD Smith & Carsten's  
comments (Date: 25 November 2008 11:46:19 GMT) about a two key  
sequence to org-remember.  If there were a way to designate a  
particular buffer for the prompting of org-remember (can Emacs have  
two mini-buffers?) then you could make a frame with two windows.  The  
top buffer is just an org-remember buffer and hitting C-c C-c would  
prompt you for the template to apply.  Then all that would need to be  
added is to automatically re-enter the org-remember buffer.

Would it cause a stack explosion if the (imaginary) org-remember-after- 
filing-hook called org-remember again?

I'll add that for my own purposes (and mainly because my remember- 
templates are rather primative) I find that one remember buffer can  
add multiple todo entries.  I just keep on adding headlines with M-S- 
<return>  (org-insert-todo-heading) while my brain is hot with ideas  
before I hit C-c C-c (org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c).  If I think I need to  
immediately refile, that's what C-u C-c C-c is for :-)

Question about a console mode:  Are you thinking of something like a  
shell buffer in emacs, where you have a default directory (org  
analogy: org-buffer/headline); access to history with M-p and M-n;  
where the buffer grows longer as you enter items.  Or are you thinking  
that the buffer would be cleared to blank every time you hit C-c C-c  
(what I was assuming while writing the above paragraph)
