First, you should respond to the list and not just to me.  I'm certainly
not the only one who can help, and probably not even your best choice.

% Hallo,

Hi again!

% #STONE.txt
% $$$COIBM.txt
% A00.txt

% A00TP.txt

Hmmm...  OK.  Let's get rid of all of the "normal" files, since I
certainly wouldn't want to wade through 3000 of them.  Try

  ls | egrep -vi '^[a-z0-9\._]*$'

and, if the resultant list isn't too many, post what you get.  [If there
are lots, post a couple or tweak the egrep regular expression to exclude
other nondescript files.

% Thanks for you help.

Sure thing!
