[iyonix-support] Help with renaming DOS extensions please

I have just renamed a large number of directories of mp3 files to include
the appropriate DOS extension using !Rename. I did this so that a networked
Windoze machine would recognise the files as music and be able to play them
on WMP11. 

I now see that !Rename has appended the file extension .mpa instead of the
expected .mp3 so WMP11 still cannot play them since it thinks they are
movie clips  :(

I am sure it must be possible to change all instances of .mpa into .mp3
using !Rename but I cannot find the right combination of entries for the
two windows. Can anyone help, please?

If there is an alternative way of renaming them all - bearing in mind there
are a lot of nested directories - that would, of course, do as well.

Thanks,
John
