Question Not Answered - XML Data that brings up "SAVE/RUN" prompt

It must have been a dumb question, because nobody has bothered to answer. I
am trying to send a stream of XML data to the response object and have the
user at the IE Browser end be prompted to Save or Run the file. See question
posted 10/08. I have tried adding Header info such as

Response.ContentType = "application/save"

and

Response.AddHeader "content-disposition", "filename=testfile.xml"

to no avail. Mozilla shows the dialog because it doesn't understand the
mime-type "application/save". IE defaults to displaying the XML, which is
nice, but the purpose of the site is to transfer data that can be saved by
default.

Is there a way to tell IE to pop up the Save/Run dialog?
That's all I need to get accomplished.

Even if I save the stream to a file and send that to the Response object,
will IE put up the dialog?
How do I instruct IE to do so.

It is not that I am just too lazy to research....
Currently I am attending to 3 other projects (debugging a VB program, SQL
Server performance issue, and Site Security issue) that have been pushed to
the top of the list by management. But I still need to resolve the ASP site
issue in a couple of days. I really envy guys that can devote all their time
to just programming.

Please help...thanks
