Cannot add a script to an object

Playing with lights.
Made own custom variation - stored in park folder, works fine.
Deleted the associated scipt for it (using NLSCO editor), change in effect as expected.

But cannot find a way to add the script back again.
Using NLSCO editor,
Script tab
Add - and I'm only offerred .nl2script type files.
The original one I want to restore is LightScriptWithFlicker.nlvm but of course it is not shown (even when at the Lights folder) and there is no way to change the File type filter.

Is this a error - or am I missing something?

this lack of email notifications is annoying - roll on the new site -

Look for a box where you enter "Class Path". .nlvm is a script class file. If the program is looking for .nl2script files it is looking for a script description file.

Thank you for your reply - but I don't understand it.

I think this is where NL2 is beginning to fail - in that there is a lack of knowledge to the underlying file types and classes whatever - or else I'm having a very bad hair day

Much as I'de like to move forward I have no idea what script class file nor what a script description file is. I'm very confused.

That's okay, I told you the wrong box to look for anyway.

See if this image helps.
