You don't say which operating system you're using, but in Unix one would simply
say

cat *.pro > bigfile.PRO ;Concatenate
mv bigfile.PRO bigfile.pro ;Rename

I think that one could really do it in one step, namely

cat *.pro > bigfile.pro

and it would simply complain that it wasn't able to copy bigfile.pro onto
itself, but am not sure about all implementations of Unix.

In VMS one would say

COPY *.PRO BIGFILE.PRO

I think in DOS one would also use the COPY command, but would probably have to
be careful about it trying to copy itself onto itself. However, the following
would probably work

COPY *.PRO ..\BIGFILE.PRO

so that BIGFILE.PRO was in a different directory.
