What I tried was the following:
header("Content-type: text/plain");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"textfile.txt\"");
echo $output;This works properly on Mozilla, however the following problems occur in IE:
IE version 5.50.4522.1800 -> 2 dialog boxes appear, and while "save as" appears to work properly, "open" doesn't work at all
IE version 5.50.4134.0600 -> Text appears in the browser window, no dialog appears
I'm not sure if the service pack is installed. Is there any way to do this besides the Content-Disposition header? Perhaps by sending a location header without actually redirecting?
Thanks, Grant

I have tried many variations of the header command, but no luck so far.
It seems to work okay on Mozilla browsers but not IE.
Okay, what have you actually tried? What are you using now? Have you read through _all_ of the comments on the manual page for header?
All you need to do is send a header() that signifies the following data is an attachment so the save/open dialog will popup. You can use the same file, just conditionally send the appropriate headers.
