Well how about this recent one of mine (for which I used my Mat script
discussed elsewhere...)?  I had been calling my 'IP:' module 'IPHandler'
(.c, .o, .lnk etc...) and decided I would prefer 'IP-Handler'.  Done on
all the files in one step by:

            REN IP^Hand#? ^0-^1

(Had to edit the makefile and link file by hand, of course, but that was
easy.)

Not an isolated instance, either.  The IP-device fan-out program I'm
working on, I tentatively called 'Itee', without liking the name much (a
'tee' is only two way).  Now someone has suggested 'mani' (for 'manifold')
so I'm about to do:

            REN itee^#? mani^1

Useful enough? (:-))
