I thought <CFContent> basically allows the user to read non HTML files in
their browser window (after all the browser is just a container).  I don't
want to open the file in their browser, just let them save it to their hard
drive and open it up in word (it's a word doc)

<CFCONTENT> causes CF to read a file from the web server and "push" it to
the client via the browser.  <CFFILE> lets you move files around on the web
server, including creating, renaming, copying and deleting.
