$PATHEXT not sufficient to run script from BASH without specifying extension on Windows XP?

SOLUTION: It has been kindly brought to my attention by two people that 
$PATHEXT is a Windows-only phenomena, and also that cygwin's bash doesn't
support it.  I was fooling myself because I used to use the MKS Toolkit
(at a previous job), and their Korn shell does support PATHEXT.  

Thanks!
