As long as you use the OS COPY statement rather than the FPW COPY, you can use long file names. i.e.
RUN /N COPY "c:\Program Files\my application.exe" "c:\my temporary location\"

Unfortunately since FPW is a 16-bit application written for a 16-bit OS and they didn't support long file names, FPW doesn't natively either.
