     From the command line, you can do something like this:

    AbiWord --to=xhtml foo.pdb

    to produce foo.xhtml

    Now, if you're good with bash or perl or something, you can figure out
    how to put this into a loop:

    #!/bin/sh

    for file in $@; do
            AbiWord --to=xhtml $file
    done
