I run what you call CandyOS and don't see what you see unless I do NOT supply the extension on the CL.

For example:
Code:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\LLigetfa>cd\KiX4.51b2

C:\KiX4.51b2>kix32 c:\kixscripts\test
test.KIX

C:\KiX4.51b2>kix32 c:\kixscripts\test.kix
test.kix

C:\KiX4.51b2>


In other words, if the extension is inferred, it will be uppercase.
