Russell,
Thanks for the details. I had not before seen these used when I referenced
my bash shell scripting book.

Russell,
Figured that was the case so added an underscore to ##BAR_.

Russell,
For the record, the working script is:
for i in BMRR_* ; do mv $i ${i##BMRR_} ; done

Russell,
True. The initial underscore remains. Will futz until it's gone. Robert's
suggested use of rename worked for him, but not for me for some unknown
reason.
Thanks,

Robert,
Ah, I tried that with only * at the end, forgetting to specify the entire
file pattern.
Thanks very much,

to strip that off, leaving the rest of the name unchanged. There are 5
different extensions on the files.
I've used rename to change file extensions but not characters at the front
