How do I set up a download situation for visitors?

With documents available within my site but not needed for viewing, what do I
link the "download" button to for initiating the action to the visitor's
computer?

You link to the documents.
However, if the browser used "recognises" the document, example Word, it may
open the file in the browser; if the document is not recognised the Open
Save dialogue will be used.

To ensure the Open Save dialogue, ZIP the documents, and link to the Zips
files.
