   YEp, TImo's basexten gives you the leading dot, and still   
   doesn't play right for if exist  when the filename or   
   extension includes an environment variable.   
      
   But, there's a workaround.   
      
   IN this case, grab the file name via other means, separate   
   the extension off by itself, capture it with one of HOrst's   
   many fine little goodies and it's rock 'n roll time.   
      
   sO, TImo's basexten is essentially useless to me, but i sure use basename.exe   
   from his same package.
