I tried going <A HREF="file://www.cnw.com/~castoff/file.exe>file.exe</A> but that didn't work to download. It thought that my account was an ftp site or something. THen I tried saying <A HREF="www.cnw.com/~castoff/file.exe">file.exe</A> but then, it just scrolled a bunch of junk all over the screen. I want to make it so that when you click on the link it asks you if you want to download the file or save to disk or whatever. I wonder if I need to give the file certain permissions with the chmod command... I tried a bunch of chmod commands, but it still didn't work. Please help me make this work. Thanks. -castoff
