Corollary 1.1: The questioner's second description of the problem/question
will also be misleading.

I told you already: replace the cp with whatever you *actually* want
to do.  It seems what you actually wanted to do was run

lynx -dump "$f" > "${f%.htm}.org"

in the body of the loop.  But instead of doing that, you've gone down
some detour, and now you're trying to cut through the god damned forest
in between the detour and the road you wanted to be on.  So now you're
asking us how to build a chain saw out of your car's windshield wipers
so you can cut down all the trees that are in your way.

And this is absolutely. positively par for the course.  That's what makes
this whole thing so stupidly frustrating.
