Allen, In the System Preferences application, Internet panel, I can only find preferences for mail reader, web browser, and news reader. I see no preference for an ftp helper. The "web browser" helper was already set to Internet Explorer, and in general when I click on a URL in Entourage, it opens a new IE window just like I want.

In IE's preferences/Network/Protocol Helpers, "FTP" was set to Internet Explorer, just like I wanted. Still didn't work. Turns out that (contrary to Rich's suggestion), I had to *uncheck* the "Use Current App if Possible" box. Once I did this, I was able to click on an ftp link in Entourage, and have IE download the file, as expected. Go figure!!!
