batch renaming files

You have that functionality built into the default AppleScripts that came with your system.

First thing -- and you only have to do this once -- you need to add the AppleScript menu to your menubar. Go into /Applications/AppleScript, and double-click "Install Script Menu." The little scroll-looking thing that appears at the right side of your menubar is the AppleScript menu.

Now in the Finder, select the files you want to rename, pull down the AppleScript menu, go into the submenu "Finder Scripts," and select "change case of item names."

While you're messing with the AppleScript menu, be sure and check out the other scripts. There's some really useful stuff in there.
