Please...

I have taken the liberty of cc'ing the fb list since the xfb list is in 
restructure... please forgive me ;-)

I have written an AppleScript to run under OS X that will delete from 
the front of file names any digit, space or ".". The problem is that AS 
under X does not recognize the leading "." as part of the file's name; 
my best guess is that it considers the "." to be an extension separation 
character. How would one successfully select a leading "." in a file's 
name in OS X?
