Hi, folks.

i'm working on a script that deletes the first four chars of a files name. I
can't find a command anywhere that lets me refer to them. Or it just won't
let me delete them

here's the start:

set oldName to (name of thisItem)
set theGunk to characters 1 through 4 of oldName
next?

Can someone help?

T.J.
