set newName to characters 5 thru -1 of oldName as string

By using txt item delimiters set to "_", the number of characters to be stripped is not an issue, nor is the number of characters to be retained. It is a more general solution, and makes only the assumption that there is an underscore in the file name, and that only those characters after the underscore are to be retained.
