Thank you. I should have figured that out.

If I made a full-out script myself, I'll have to remake it everywhere I
go. However, I figured out how to work 'rename' (man rename), which is
apparently a simple Perl script designed for this. It won't be
everywhere, but it's worth knowing.
Everywhere else, I'll use:
for f in $(ls *.cpp); do mv $f $(basename $f .cpp).c ; done
Not too hard.
