Thanks for all the help.

What I am trying to do is convert some Korn Shell scripts to bash to run 
under Cygwin.

I am wondering,  does cygwin have a preferred extension for scripts ?  
It  probably does not matter.   Some of the scripts had .ksh on the end 
of them.
I want to make everything uniform now that I am moving to Cygwin.
