What I would do is a simple VB application that would reference the 
file, make a copy (for safety sake) and write the changes to the copy.

It does not have to be Maxscript as the inner process would be exactly 
the same i.e., scanning through the selected file for instances of 
'.DDS' and changing it to '.BMP'.
