Dear Ian, I think we may looking for the problem in the wrong place.
The fact that the browser offers to save something means that it is receiving a response from the server, and that it is not interpreting said response as HTML text. You are not actually outputting any '<HTML>', '<HEAD>', or '<BODY>' tags. If you add them, your browser is more likely to recognise the response as HTML.
