Your options:
a) write text telling the person 'right-click and choose SAVE AS... to
download'
or
b) ZIP the file, and hope they can figure out how to unzip it or don't mind
unzipping it
or
c) Send the file to the browser as an 'octet-stream'. This forces the
download window to appear. This requires that you use some server side
programming.
