You can do this easily with two DOS-batch-routines and a WP-macro.
 
Master batch-routine:  CNVMST.BAT
 
call conv <file 1>
call conv <file 2>
call conv <file 3>
       .
       .
       .
 
This program can be easy produced with a normal editor.
 
Batch-routine:  CONV.BAT
 
wp %1 /m convert
ren \asc\temp.$$$ %1
 
The converted file is stored in the subdirectory \asc
 
 
WP-macro: CONVERT
 
CTRL-F5 1 1 \asc\temp.$$$<RETURN> F7 n j
 
The "n" and "j" mean in my german version: Exit text, no save, yes leave WP
 
 
I hope this helps you.
 
Good luck!
