Presuming your workstation is a Windows machine, from what I have found on their documentation, doing a rename on an mget is not supported. I think that with Windows, you're stuck downloading the PDS without the extension then renaming the files to add the .TXT afterwards.
As John M pointed out, if the workstation is either a Linux or some flavor of Unix box, you can set up a mask and have the client do the renames while downloading.
