Much thanks. This works but now it won't propmpt the download. Once the
headers are sent anything going to std out is part of the download correct?
But this is just printing to the screen. Any thoughts there?
<?
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=TEST.txt");
echo "LINE ONE".chr(13)."LINE TWO".chr(10)."LINE THREE";
?>
