Marty,

I think you can name them anything you want.  Though IBM's default name is
iptfxxx_x.bin.

check out the instructions for installing PTFs from an image catalog:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/index.htm?info/rzam8/rzam8
fixinstallimage.htm

Add an image catalog entry for fixes that you downloaded from Fix Central
into an IFS directory. You can add the directory into an image catalog in
either of the following ways: 
>From the same directory that is associated with the image catalog directory.

ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG) FROMFILE(iptfxxx_x.bin) 
         TOFILE(iptfxxx_x.bin)
>From a different directory. 
ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG) 
        FROMFILE('differentdirectory/iptfxxxx_x.bin') 
        TOFILE(iptfxxx_x.bin)
