Thanks for the quick reply.

That's the one that really matters to me as many (most?) of my scripts have
no file extension.

I've never come across .bsh and .dsh used as extensions in this way.

I guess I suggested .bsh and .dsh for completeness.  My first encounter
with .bsh was on my newest job.  I introduced .dsh once I started using a
#!/bin/dash shebang.  Given that you found a LibreOffice conflict I am
happy to withdraw my suggestion.
