It all depends on what you mean by "append a word to a filename"

If you're doing it for a single file, then it's as simple as

mv my_file my_file_new

If you are doing it via a script, simple variables can be used to manipulate the filename...

Code:
...
filename="my_file"
append="new"

mv ${filename} ${filename}_${new}
...

You can do this en masse too....
Code:
cd /where/my/files/are

ls | while read filename; do
   mv ${filename} ${filename}_new
done

There is more than one way to skin a cat, and the method depends on the type of cat being skinned Smilie What exactly are you trying to achieve?

Cheers
