David,
your routine does not get the extension on this example in opposite of Theos
file_path_name_ext which works on windows and unix.
FSC_Base_Filename drops the dot :-(

IDL> thePath = '../.profile'
IDL> Print, FSC_Base_Filename(thePath, Directory=dir,Extension=ext)
% Compiled module: FSC_BASE_FILENAME.
% Compiled module: PATH_SEP.
% Compiled module: STRSPLIT.
profile
IDL> fpe=file_path_name_ext(thePath)
% Compiled module: FILE_PATH_NAME_EXT.
% Compiled module: REPLACE_STRING.
IDL> print,fpe.path
../
IDL> print,fpe.name

IDL> print,fpe.ext
.profile

cheers
Reimar
