Rob,
Consider ending the name with the extension SCRPT or SCRIPT or APLSCRPT.
It's how I got around it (note that OS X does not require a 32 character
limit on filenames, although things above 31 characters get abstracted at the
storage level). One other word of caution (from experiences earlier this
week): modify the name down to 28 characters or less before compressing them
for placement on a website... Stuff-it will choke on the excess in some
cases.
Best Wishes,
