You can set any extension to be opened by <br>
Excel, or notepad for that matter.<br>
<br>
But<br>
The goal here is for Excel to actually comprehend<br>
that what it's opening is in fact a spreadsheet.<br>
<br>
And have it open it without prompts, and put<br>
the results into columns and rows.<br>
<br>
It would be nice if DOWNLOAD could do that<br>
since Accuterm's export facility does allow<br>
exporting natively to Excel files, so we can<br>
see that it's *possible* to do so.<br>
