Depends what browser you're using -- if you're using Mosaic 2.0
prerelease 6, you should be getting a popup dialog to name a local
filename (unless you have defined a viewer for application/postscript
or are using the default settings).
May I suggest that other browsers default to "save to local disk" on
unrecognized MIME types rather than just giving up?
