Hi Gitte,
are you sure, the extension .smil is really needed?
Setting the mime-type in return should be sufficient:
<dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('application/smilwhatever')">
of course you have to know how the mime-type is called
actually ;)
Can you explain in short what you really want to do?
Do you link to a page which should serve the
smil-file? Then you have something like
<a href="/where/you/did/your/smilgenerator_put.smil">
eventually with several url-encoded parameters after it.
HTH
