changing logical file names

Using SS2000 SP4. I want to create a new test database from an existing
database backup. This is the sql that I use:
RESTORE DATABASE SMC_Test
FROM disk = '\\Depts\Technology\SQLServer\Backups\Colu\SMS\smc_936.bak'
WITH RECOVERY,
MOVE 'SMC_Data' TO 'S:\SQL\Data\SMCLMS_Test_Data.mdf',
MOVE 'SMC_Log' TO 'L:\SQL\Logs\SMCLMS_Test_Log.ldf'
Is there a way to change the logical file names at the same time? In another
post I saw this sql:
USE master
go
ALTER DATABASE XXX MODIFY FILE
( NAME='XX_old Name',NEWNAME='XX_New Name' )
go
Do I have to run that after I restore the database or is there another way?
Thanks,

Dan D.You have to do it after the restore.
