Thanks all for the pointer to rename - looks like a very useful command.
I found a man page for it but it is very sparse. Is there a good
description for
the options and usage of rename?
Thanks.

Yes... I've also found the 'rename' command to be quite useful for
mass-renaming of files. It is especially powerful because of its
support for Perl-style regex substitution:
rename 's/\s+/_/g' *
