Renaming a copied file with Finder

Hi, i'm quite a newbie in applescript, and I'm getting stuck by a very
basic task...

I'd like to copy a file from folder A to folder B, and I want to
manage the possibility of an already existing file with the same name
in folder B.
I 'd like the new file to be saved with a different name, without
overwrite the old one (something like "filename (2)" ): is there any
option of the Finder's copy command I can use? some like the "without
replacing" one...

Otherwise, i could catch the error (15267), and copy the file with a
new name: how can i do that with Finder?

thanks a lot,

Mauro
