If you are using a command window,

   obabel q*.mol -O *.cml

will convert all the mol files with name starting with "q" to cml files 
with the same name. To do a batch conversion like this, the input 
filename must contain a "*" or "?" and the output filename must contain 
a "*".

With the GUI, type the input and output filenames into the appropriate 
boxes.

For non-Windows systems, it is necessary to use the-m option to do batch 
conversions, see
