I've attached a version with minimal changes to make it work, the
syntax for case etc. is fairly simple once you've seen an example.

ps2pdf doesn't really need the second argument, so you don't need to
play around with basename. The following works (after cd'ing into
the directory):
for i in *.ps; ps2pdf $i; rm -f $i; done
or, using your friend find you can do it hierarchies:
find . -name "*.ps" -exec ps2pdf '{}' \; -exec rm -f '{}' \;
(replace . with the directory to descend, eg '/' to clean out the
whole box).
