Let me know if you need more info.
Is this a Win32 script or a CGI? Where is the dialog box generated? If this is related to saving output from a CGI program through a browser, you can suggest the filename to be saved by adding the header: Content-disposition: filename=$filename You can also encourage the browser to prompt to save or open with rather than displaying the results by setting the content type, as with: Content-type: text/tab-separated-values I've used this to set the output of a "Save as" button to a filename with .csv (or .tsv), which can easily be set in most browsers to default to load in a spreadsheet, if it isn't set already.
