Help Wanted: Port the `before_v.060` scripts

[fdncred]

It would be great to get all the "old" scripts ported to the latest version of nushell. Anyone want to help with it?

The steps would be something like this:

1. Take a script or folder from the nu_scripts/before_v0.60 path
2. Copy it and/or create the folder and copy it to the root of the repo
3. In the newly created copied script/folder, update the nushell syntax to support the latest nushell
4. Submit a PR. One at a time or a bunch at a time.

Any takers?

[Yethal]

Sure, I can take a few
