Padding with zeros.

Hi Friends,

I would like to left pad with "0's" on first column say (width six)
I have a large file with the format:

FILE:

1: ALFRED 84378 NY
8385: JAMES 88385 FL
323: SMITH 00850 TX

My output needs to be like:

000001: ALFRED 84378 NY
008385: JAMES 88385 FL
000323: SMITH 00850 TX

Thanks in advance for your help
