It should not be all that hard to add an optional argument which specifies a list of files or a file containing a list of files to process, and default to "A B C" if that argument is not present.

If the files take a long time to process, maybe you should make it default to refuse to overwrite a file which already exists, and maybe an option to force it to.

These things are not hard to do per se, but if the script is already complex, you should be careful not to add too many new features. (It's typical that the bells and whistles and command-line processing make up the bulk of a shell script, and the real core functionality is a small fraction of the code.)
