I understood him as wanting a way to file in advance for flight following.


So did I. This procedure does that.



Your reply seemed to imply that he could obtain flight following by
putting "VFR"
in the altitude box.


I don't think I implied that, I think I said that explicitly.



I take it you were only saying that this will generate a strip on him
which,
in turn, will make it easier for him to request flight following?


Yes, that's exactly what he wanted.
