Converting images

[R Kimber]

I'm trying to resize some images in a directory to have a height of 700.  I
thought the imagemagick 'convert' would do it, so I did:

for files in *.jpg; do convert -resize x700 $files; done

but I got:
convert: missing an image filename `img_1385.jpg' @
wand/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2710

for each image.

What am I doing wrong? Is there another tool that might do it?
