Ah. I now realise that I have misunderstood the work-flow. After 'f p', what is displayed is not the list of factories but the menu of existing filters organised by factory.
I must choose 'new filter' and then I get a list of factories with which I can make a filter interactively. Once I have done this, my new filter 'Year range : (1967 1969)' appears in the menu in the Year range section. Q: is there a way, in the interactive filter creation, to name the new filter (in my case to something like '1967-69'?
