I don't know if there is an Archetype helper for this, but I'm doing it
that way in generak:

create a wrapper method on your class like:

 def downloadMyFile(self, REQUEST=None):
	if REQUEST:
            REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader("Content-
Disposition";"attachment;filename=%s" % originalname)
.
.
.
	return self.myfileproperty

Actually I don't know where AT stores the original name of the file, but
this is the general approach. Also note, that IE 5.5 has a bug so it
can't interpret the filename in attachment dispositions.

Cheers,
Theuni

PS: What's the MIT doing with Zope? Is @mit.edu something
"important"? :)
