What I would do is give a DIR command, take the list of files from the
screen, use Pfunc to add BC merge in front of every line, remove
unnecessary files, change the order where required, and voila, all you need
to do is run this to concenate all those file into one.

The XY experts naturally can come up with something more clever, but the
above works fine for me.
