Brilliant thanks, Nick! :-) The last bit preempted my next dilemma being
how to start the incrementing from a predetermined value, say 25, and
end at another predetermined value. So, I was able to change it to start
cp at image25.jpg and end at image75.jpg. Many thanks :-)

BTW: in case anyone's curious I'm helping my kid generate an animation
for homework.
