If you go to settings-configuration-post processing, there is an option to change the file extension. I have never tried it but it should work.

For X and later : In the 'control definition' - 'files' - 'NC file extension'
For 9 and prev.: Open your '.pst' file search for 'sextnc'

It may not be in there, but you can add it.
Find any section that talks about "strings"... Like this....
#String and string selector definitions for NC output
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Address string definitions
strm "M"
strn "N"
stro "O"
strp "P"
srad "R"
srminus "R-"
sblank
Then just add this on a line by itself......
sextnc FNC
