I'd be a little more specific; if you are using AIPS usernumber 15 (00F in
extended hex), then you need to instead:

  ls -l *D01S*.00F\;

(note the backslash to escape the semicolon; most shells treat a ";" as a
command separator).  This restricts the file selection to your catalog
only.

Not that it's likely to be of any use, but this should be:

  mv CAD000000.00F\; CAD.00F.save

(the first "00F" needs an uppercase "F", not lowercase).

Yup, that's the ticket.  Make sure you do this from the Unix command line.
There is a RECAT verb inside AIPS that is almost totally unrelated.
