The Save Dialog has a "Hide extension" checkbox. Not exactly what you're
asking for, but maybe close enough. Also 'works' for Eudora's Script menu in
that it doesn't show the extension. So no need to piss off Steve Dorner ;)

Well I'd like to know how you do it.

I save a script as Untitled 14 in Eudora's Scripts folder with the hide extension box clicked. The script is saved as Untitled 14.scpt.

I go to Finder preferences and uncheck 'show all file extensions' -- this makes not a scrap of difference until I restart the machine.

At the end, the extension is hidden in the Finder but still visible in the Eudora menu.

If I now (after the restart) save another script for Eudora, the SE window does not show the extension and the Finder does not show the extension (except in the info window) but the new script in Eudora's menu still shows the name and the extension.

I have not tried, but I guess other carbon apps with Scripts menus will behave the same.
