Since you are using GCG, you probably want a csh eequivalent for this,
and you probably don't want it to overwrite existing files, in which
case you want the following:
set noclobber
foreach f (*\ *)
mv $f `echo $f | tr -d ' '`
end
If you want the spaces changed to underscores, rather than removed,
change
tr -d ' '
to
tr ' ' '_'
