Why you ask to use tcsh, if you have nothing ? Even your interactive command shell is tcsh, you can do your script using any shell which you have. And execute it even you use tcsh.
Example, I'm sure that you have sh in /bin directory, so this works, even it is ksh88 version or BourneShell - save this text to file rename.sh :
And after you have created file rename.sh , give execute priviledges and then call rename.sh with those files which you like to rename.
