Yes.  That was it.  Thanks.

However, I had thought that the behavior to be different.  My man page 
(from 6.0-RC?) reads:
The following key points apply to old-style scripts in
      /usr/local/etc/rc.d/:

·   Scripts are only executed if their basename(1) matches the shell
     globbing pattern *.sh, and they are executable.  Any other files or
     directories present within the directory are silently ignored.

Has the behavior changed?  It was my understanding that files with *.sh 
or no extension (yet executable), would be run.

Thanks again.
