[Help-bash] Multiple double quoted expansions

[David Niklas]

Hello,
Today I typed into my terminal (">" changed to "<"):

% for i in *.pcx; do
<   convert "$i" "$(basename $i .pcx).png";
< done

This worked well, but all the filenames contained no embedded spaces
or anything else. So my question is, how would I redo this to make
it handle nastier filenames?

Thanks, David
