[lug] simple script

[Taz]

Hi all:
Here an easy one.  I have a small script I use to convert files from
.bmp to .jpg  It works just great except for one small thing.  The
filenames starts out as:

whatever.bmp

then after conversion is

whatever.bmp.jpg

instead of  whatever.jpg

How do I make the filename simply "whatever.jpg"  Here is the script:

for i in *.bmp
        do
        echo "converting " $i " to .jpg format"
        convert $i $i.jpg
done
