Use standard http link to the file. Displays contents of file in browser window. 2. Use rather than http. Doesn't work at all. 3. Add an applications preference to save to disk in Netscape for files with the Mime type text/R*ch, and an extension of wdb. This still displays the file in the browser window. 4. Holding mouse button down (mac) and using the Save file as saves a file to disk, but the creator code is changed to MOSS and the tabs are converted to spaces, and there are line breaks inserted after so many characters in a line.In the archives some people had tried to use [writefile...][include...][/writefile], but they didn't seem to get anywhere with that either.Is there a Mimeheader that should be set to accomplish this?Any takers?-- Thanks in advance!================================================ Robert Wade Outbound Creative, Inc. robert@outboundcreative.com ================================================ |[ ] L|| ‘||‘ ||} |[ ] L|| ||\| ||) ================================================------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
