I have a set of tools that does that and more:

Note: Funny characters are inverse-video on and off for my machine.

# .mushrc
#
# bindsave does a save to a folder and sets $atarget to that folder name.  
# It also modifies the prompt to show the current value of
# $atarget, which is the last folder saved to.  
#
set atarget=+mbox      # default save file
cmd bindsave "set atarget=\!:1 ; save "'$atarget'"; set prompt = '==>^[[7m %u %f: %m /%t  \!:1  ^[[m'"
#
# This "f" binding starts a "folder" command and supplies the folder name 
# as a default.  You can change it by backspacing if needed.
#
bind-macro f '[line-mode]eval -m "[folder]$atarget"\n'
