            Will give it a try, Bill........But will it skip over
files that do not have the old extension?

Here's  one that I use all the time.....I call it  fe  for
"file explorer"......

There are actually two-  the main one  puts the  $PWD
in a temp file in my $HOME  when I choose EXIT,
then  .  dc  (that's a dot and a space for 'source' )  cds
me to that directory .



-----------------------------------------------------


#!/bin/bash
###2.05
### fe
while : ; do
     select fname in $HOME / EXIT $(ls -aF) ; do
          if [ "$fname" = EXIT ] ; then 
                      echo "$PWD" > /home/farley931/.t2
                  exit; fi
          if [ -f "$fname" ] ; then
                   less "$fname"
                elif [ -d "$fname" ] ; then
               cd "$fname"    
               echo "$PWD"
                   break
              fi
     done
done 

----------------------------------------------------------
 ###  dc
 cd $(cat /home/farley931/.t2)
