Hi David,
Your file is being downloaded as base 64 text data. Bob or Angel will have to
explain the Jmol side of the various saves and exports on the Jmol menu, but
one thing to keep in mind is that on the client side of this, you are pretty
much at the mercy of how your browser handles these server file downloads.
I use a similar server approach to download simple text files from a page. I
have no control after my server sends the file. For example, on the Mac side a
new window opens, the file goes to the download folder, and it opens is Text
Edit. On the Chrome side, it opens up in Text Exit (settable option on Chrome).
While a new tab (window) does not open, a drop down dialog appears at the
bottom of Chrome window.
I have no control of any of this from my Web page.
