Jeff, which begs the question why in this age of instant electronic

released!

This tip was passed on by Martin Evening in a seminar recently in Islington.
I couldn't find my notes. I remembered the hash sign was involved so tried
entering it with the Opt+� key combination but had forgotten that you need
to enclose the number you wish to ascend.

In c'est case:
Open the File Browser,
Select the files you wish to rename,
Call up the context menu and select Batch Rename
Enter X in the first field
#5678# in the second field
ABC in the third field
Select "extension" in the fourth field
Click "OK"
That should do it.
