Hi all, and thanks for the feedback :)

About that man's (unconvertable) bolt text...

>Very cool !

Indeed! I've tried it. :)

True! how could I guess? :)

>keramida@ceid.upatras.gr suggested:

It works! Even though I don't quite understand the sed part :(

And about chopping off the .txt extension:

>Darren Wyn Rees <merlin@netlink.co.uk> adviced:

>for f in *
>do
>FNEW=`echo $f | sed -e 's/\.txt$//'`
>        mv $f $FNEW
>done

This one looks more mysterious than previous suggestions
( like for example:    do mv $f ${f%%.txt} done   )
but works just fine, all of the same :) Thanks Darren!

I think I better go and look at sed's man-page once more..

nice to have you around all you ppl,
bye
Dimitri
