FYI: Since this may be a problem for others, I did figure it out sort of.
If my script is called: filereturn.php I pass this in my HREF:
A HREF="filereturn.php/filename.exe?fileID=3333
I don't know if this is a hack or whatever, but Netscape (NIX and Windoze)
and IE on Mac will now save the file as filename.exe vs. filereturn.php
IE 5.5 on Windoze will return it as filename and forget the extension.
