[ILUG] How do I mv a bunch of files w/ a RE?

Hi folks,

I have a bunch of files in a directory of the following format:

a001.html
a002.html
a003.html

I'd like to find a single 'mv' command to change these files from axxx.html
to bxxx.html.

Obviously, commands like 'mv a???.html b???.html' don't work.
I'd prefer a single line shell command rather than some sort of foreach if
possible.

Thanks,
