Just for the sake of completeness:
mmv is also a package available for some linux distributions (SuSE at
least), so you don't need the alias.
If you like doing so using shell features, you could, with bash, issue
for i in 1105\ A*; do mv "$i" "${i#1105\ }" ; done
This might work in many POSIX-sh-compliant shells, not only bash (which
the obsolete (t)csh is not ;-> )
