Solved Xfe file manager help

Searched the web first, the xfe documentation was not helpful for me so thought I'd post here. I know a few folks here use the x11-fm/xfe file manager because I have seen it in screenshots. I cannot get the "scripts' functionality to work in x11-fm/xfe no matter what I try. I have even used the example scripts listed in the documentation and nothing executes. I am trying to put a short script together to change desktop wallpaper using x11-graphics/feh. Easy enough, but using their examples, it doesn't work. Here are the script(s) I have tested. My script file(s) are marked as executable by my user.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
feh --bg-scale %F
-----------------------------
#!/bin/sh
feh --bg-scale "$arg"
 
Like placeholder you must use $@
Here a simple script to open a file with vim:

#!/bin/sh
xterm -e vim $@

Anyway Xfe scripts are Nautilus scripts and you can search for howto's and examples.
