Default Renaming folders

Greetings !

On the part of the Server that I have inherited,
there is a Tree consisting of
over 2,000 folders and sub-folders,
containing some 20,000 files in all.

Most of these folders have names such as

Transmittal Document379 040803 - Addendum 1 Rev01

where the 379 is the unique sequence number, and the
040803 is the date (3 Aug 2004)

What I want to do is "simply"
to run recursively through this entire batch,
deleting the words "Transmittal Document"

I would appreciate help on:
finding the sub-folder names
re-naming them
recursion in this context
finding the file names.

I DO know how to re-name THEM <grin


Thanks in anticipation
