I wonder why we prompt for a file name anyway.  With a bare test file
that only loads the article class I could not add anything to the table
of contents by supplying a file name.  Does anybody know under which
circumstances this is supposed to work?  Perhaps if certain packages are
loaded?

For the moment, my suggestion would be not to prompt for a file but to
offer the extensions mentioned above for completion.
