You'll probably need to disable the filename field "after" importing. It may be re-created on import.
In any case, all the naming is controlled by the Publish Rules under the "Admin > Publishing" menu. So you can import, then turn off the filename field, and then change the naming.
This post describes how to change the old naming:

Just "Publish All" after that and you should be good.

Hi Dave,
I've deleted and started over, tried everything I can, and yet each time I go in to edit a published article I get the warning message "'Filename' value is already in use, please select a different filename!"

One of your article publish rules is probably setup to publish with the same name for every article. I'm going to make that error message more clear in the next release.
In the meantime if you want you can send a request to support to take a look at it for you and fix it up.

Hi Dave,
Seem to be making some progress. I can make edits to articles now, and the changes are saved in the live version on our website. However, on the Articles edit page screen I see the long file name in the filename field box like this_is_a_sample_12345. I should see article_12345. Each file is different and the titles displayed now coincide with the title name with underscores. The publish rule is: article_<artNum>.
Any suggestions on how I can get the file name in the filename field to display as article_12345?
Thanks,
jferry

The filename on the article edit page isn't actually the filename, it's more like a filename "tag" that you can include (or completely ignore) in your published filenames. If you want to use it you can refer to it was <artFile> in the publish rules.
So if article 8 has a filename value of "my_article" then you could use "<artFile>.shtml" in the publish rule to create "my_article.shtml" or "art<artNum>_<artFile>.shtml" to create art8_my_article.shtml or even "article_<artNum>.shtml to create just "article_8.shtml" and ignore the filename value.

Hi Dave,
Think that does it. I'll simply hide the field since I don't need it.
Thanks.
