Need help adding downloads.

I have a couple questions regarding Front Page 2002. I'm been trying to add text files to my site that you can download, problem is, whenever i click on the link i have made, it just displays the text file in the IE page. I would like for it to bring up the dowload box, and offer the user the choice to download or not with out displaying the file in the IE page. please help. thanks in adcance.

Hi,

The files will have to be zipped in order to allow download versus display or if you have access remove the mime mapping for the
..txt file extension.

You'll need to put it in a zip file.
