Batch conversion can't get to work

Alright, I've search the forum and will start gonit through. I have two issues.
I'm need to conver all the files in a directory from Tif to BMP. I'm trying this commend line:
Nconvert -out bmp *.tif
But it keeps saying "Error: Can't open file (*.tif). Why doesn't this wildcard work?
And two. When I put in "nconvert -help" it scolls through too fast. Is there a page command I can add?
Thanks
Damon

Forgot, I'd also like to delete the original after converting. Is that possible?

Strange wildcard works, i've just checked

Try nconvert -help | more

Got the wildcard to work. Had to upgrade. but the more command, it doesn't recognize. Is there another location I can get a list of the -help?
Thanks

"-d" didn't work
Nconvert -d -out bmp *.tif
and tried
nconvert -out bmp *.tif -d
