Output file name automation

I figure this is unlikely, but does anyone have a method for automating file
name generation from within FrameMaker?
For example:
Let's say I have a document that has a "Paying Customer" version and a "Sneak
Preview" version, with certain key information deleted for the benefit of
tire-kickers. Let's also stipulate that I'm using PDFMark, FrameMaker variables,
and conditional text to control the Document properties. Hence, by turning on
the "Sneak Preview" condition and toggling off the "Paying Customer" condition,
the document properties in the PDFMark code, thus the finished PDF, are
automatically manipulated.
Is there any way to force FrameMaker to output by default to
<title>_<preview>_<version number>.ps or <title>_<preview>_<version number>.pdf?
Or is this simply impossible? I see no handles for manipulating file names, but
someone here might know better...
Thanks,
