Well,
If you choose to save your script in a file like: myqry.sql,
then that file becomes a "can" on your "sql shelf" and

I don't use Navigator all that much myself, but I run SQL statements

I use Windows Explorer and double click IFS files with the .sql

Yes. Just found "Run Sql Scripts." Kind of counter-intuitive name:
sounds like a way to run something that's canned, not something entered
ad-hoc.

Uff-da.
