Hi to all.

My goal is to rename several files in such a way as to decapitalize
starting letters in their names. The solution seems to be simple
but I'm stuck. What should I use? awk/sed or write some
shell-script?

This assumes tcsh:

foreach i (`ls [A-Z][a-z]*`)
    mv $i `echo $i|tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'`
end


tr will decapitalize all the letters in the string.
