Creating a designated graphics file

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

AFAIK, you can set everything but the filename.  The output filename is based on a combination of a numerical timestamp and type of image ('sb' for scalebar, 'leg' for legend, etc.).

Of course, you can use mapscript to do this, but I'm not sure if this is at all possible in CGI mode.

Is there a way to use MapServer CGI to output a graphics file (GIF or JPG)
to a designated location with a designated name on a Windows/IIS server?
For example, I'd like to be able to call  mapserver.exe and tell it to name
the file "thismap.jpg" and create it in directory c:\wwwroot\projects\maps\
