I do not understand the precise difficulty. Could you give an example? 1. The expansion of shell meta-characters should be done by the shell. 2. "htlatex" works on only one document at a time so you cannot give multiple file names to the command. > A quick and easy way to fix it would be to > rewrite htlatex in Perl, though that would pull in Perl.

There is a command called "mk4ht" which calls the appropriate script for conversion with the appropriate arguments. On the other hand, you may want something different... Please clarify.
