File name swap
I'm trying to write a shell script that accepts two file extensions as command line arguments and renames all files with the first extension within the current working directory to have the second extension instead. The script should print out error messages as is appropriate if there is any problem with the command line arguments. Any help?

mdel(1) General Commands Manual mdel(1)
NAME
mdel - mtools utility to delete a DOS file
SYNOPSIS
mdel [-v] msdosfile [msdosfiles...]
OPTIONS
Specifies verbose mode. File names are echoed as they are processed.
DESCRIPTION
The mdel command deletes a file or files on an DOS file system. Unlike the DOS convention, multiple arguments can be specified. If a read
only file is encountered, the mdel command queries whether or not to delete the file. Unlike the DOS convention, DOS subdirectory names
that contain the '/' or '' separator are supported. If you use the '' separator or wildcards, you must enclose file names in quotes to
protect them from the shell.
The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: Success. Failure.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of mdel: If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the cur-
rent mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.
FILES
Contains the name of the current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this file does not exist, the default
mtools working directory is A:. Executable file
