OK so I deleted the launchers.xml file and without the need to reinstall it started to behave as before. I have noticed on my (Raspberry PI) based system, it seems best to exit the Advanced Launcher add in after each change as the context menu does not seem to come up and I think that was what threw me (hence the file hacking).
The bit that I had also missed was adding the sources - i.e. creating /bin/sh as a source so that I could pick it up as an app.
Cheers Angelscry - I am on a roll ;-)

I thought I would add a post-script to this as there was one further trap in this thread that could lead to laptops being thrown across the room ;-)
Specifically for the multiple script launcher described, option should be to create a Files launcher, not a stand alone, as the latter does not ask for file extension types of have the scan option in the context menu.
Hope this helps someone.

You need to create an items launcher and not a stand-alone launcher,
