Long Filenames with Applescript

Hi-

I'm trying to rename a file in a script. Its possible that I might come
across a long file name (i.e. longer than 31 characters). I'm currently
using the following:

set name of fooFile to "New File Name"

Unfortunately, I recieve an error if the new name is longer than 31
characters. Is there anyway to rename a file to a long name with
AppleScript?

Thanks!
Matt
