The filenames contain 'spaces' and some characters with tics or apostrophes, and tildes over them. I tried to change them from a console session, but I don't know how to generate those special characters from the keyboard...and I really don't want to type the long filenames anyway. :-| OBTW, I have no GUI (X windows) on this computer. Is there a way to remove all characters < 023h && > 06fh from these filenames? find - sed - mv ???
