James, the below work for changing 1 file name; maybe there's something one 
does 
with   for   , or perhaps redirect input from a file with a list of the file 
names 
trhatneed changing?

May I add that this works on a  remote system using  bash - don't remember 
whether it works under  BL3.


---------

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
mv $1  `echo $1 | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]' `

Let's say this script is called xc.

So

xc   something.htm 

would change it to SOMETHING.HTM
