If you've already generated all the image files, you're going to have a
hard time cleaning them up correctly. If you're willing to scrap the
existing files, and regenerate all the images, you can get correct
filenames with no problem.

There are two (related) problems with that approach, in this particular
situation: 1) you don't know how many hyphens are going to appear in the
filename, and 2) sometimes, the original filename is cut off.
In the onepart.bat file, the %1 parameter contains the original filename,
XYZ.dat. You can use this to rename the image files, perhaps adding:
ren c:\ldraw\bitmap\*.* %1
ren c:\ldraw\bitmap\*.dat *.bmp
to the onepart.bat file.
The first statement will rename all files in ldraw\bitmap (there will be
only one file there) to XYZ.dat. The second command will change XYZ.dat to
XYZ.bmp.
After you've got the name fixed, you can move the file out to a different
location.
