        I think rename might do it. Will give that a try.

        Yes, I want to put all the tracks in one directory. Initially,
        in early February, when I first got involved, I was able to
        download 84 lectures at once and simply put them on a thumb
        drive or iPod. Worked slick, but now they've screwed up the
        system and shut out a whole class of customers, "The Teaching
        Company, www.teach12.com." I can download samples fine but their
        new security system "download manager" prevents the download
        even after I have logged in?

        Thanks Joe and Kevin.
