Rename dos file to include date w/mmddyy format

[ctreu]

I need to rename a file so that it includes the current date with the format of 'mmddyy' only.  I'll be putting this into a dos batch file, scheduled to run once a day.  (i. e. dy.txt should become dy050406.txt)

I've tried using $date$ but it creates it as 'day mm/dd/yy' which is not a usable format for a file neither would I want to use it even if it did work.

Any suggestions?
