[Gloucs] bash question

Any suggestions on how to do the following?

I have a directory full of pdfs and I want to concatenate them into
one large pdf.

ghostscript can do this but the command is basically:

gs -o outputfile.pdf   infile1.pdf   infile2.pdf

So a script is in order (there's more pdfs than I'd like to do by hand)

Every time I try to tackle something like this I end up with a counter
(say n) and end up with the following problem:

if n is 1, $n returns 1. I want to use n to cycle through the command
line arguments so I end up with $$n the idea being $1 is the first
command line argument so $n would return 1, leaving $1 which return
the 1st command line argument.

Now, I know this is wrong and won't work but no matter what (), {}, %
and ` I put I can make it do what I want. How do you do it (assuming
you can).

So two problems there but the first reintroduced me to the latter.
