Very basic VBScript question

I am starting to set up Java Web Start (JAWS) on my system and the docs
suggest a short VBScript - which they provide - for determining which
version of Internet Explorer is running. The only thing they DON'T say is
what the name of the file CONTAINING the script needs to be, particularly
the file extension.

Files containing JavaScripts are supposed to use a ".js" extension so I'm
assuming that VBScripts have a standard extension too, possibly ".vbs" or
".vs".

Can anyone confirm that? Or does it really not matter what the file name and
extension are for a VBScript?

Filename doesn't matter, but extension should be .vbs
