Without more information, it's hard to say exactly what you want, but
the following should work. All it does is dumbly removes the last 4
characters of the file name and replaces it with ".jpg". If you need
better logic you'll have to describe your problem more thoroughly. Is
the file length an issue because you're on OS 9 or is it because the
file names are extremely long? Also, are the names all right up to the
limit, or are some shorter? If they aren't right up to the limit,
what's the length limit? Do the shorter ones have the extension
already?
tell application "Finder"
set x to choose folder
set y to files of x
repeat with currentFile in y
set fileName to name of currentFile
set fileLength to length of fileName
set shortenedFile to items 1 through (fileLength - 4) of fileName
set name of currentFile to (shortenedFile & ".jpg" as Unicode text)
end repeat
end tell
