Subject: Command to move groups of files
X-IsSubscribed: yes

Somone a month or so ago posted a list of little known Cygwin
commands, and in that list was a cool command that allowed you
to rename a list of files, like thus:

  cmd First*.* Second*.*

which would rename all files starting with "First" to be "Second".
I used this command a bit, and then promptly forgot about it until
I really needed to use it yesterday.

Could someone remind me of the name of that command?
