Hi Allen,
saving remember buffers is hackish and complex as it is, so I am not
going to add this option.
I think the workflow has to be this:
Create a remember buffer and more-or-less immediately file it.
If you need to work on the content for a longer time, work on it at
the target location: Simply exit remember with C-u C-c C-c. The
buffer will be filed and the target location will be visited
immediately. So now you can work there as long as you want, and start
another remember process when you need one.

I've looked briefly into the org-remember.el. A hook exists:

THere are tradeoffs to immediately saving a remember buffer to a
file, and editing a note in the remember buffer, then saving with
remember-finalize. I don't remember what they are, as they led me
away from immediately saving quite a while ago. I was strongly
encouraged by the establishment of a procedure to automatically save
to a directory, any remember buffer that was not finallized. I had
some issues with it, including how clunky it was to recover, and it
was broken at some point, when I was too busy to fix it.
One problem with editing in the Remember buffer, then saving later,
is forgetting where I am. I can rely on several remember templates,
and too often have lost the remember buffer's contents, when I ran
remember again.
What I propose is the make it possible---optionally---to invoke a
hook to save existing remember buffers when C-c C-r (X) is used to
file a remember note while in the remember buffer already.
I found a test "bufferp". It does not seem to recognize the buffer
name "Remember", nor "*Remember*".
Is it possible to do this, or is remember going to defeat this?

You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world,
but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever
about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's
doing---that's what counts.

Is there a hook to save the remember buffer when I type C-c C-r when
I'm in an unsaved remember buffer? That would be almost as good,
perhaps better, than saving the remember buffer to a special file or
directory.
