[Zope] Content-Disposition

I am not having any luck trying to download some script-generated 
text from a browser (IE5/Mac in this case).  When I try the following 
in a python method:

request.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; 
filename=file.txt')
print 'Hello, filesystem!'
return printed

all that happens is that IE displays the text.  Not very helpful.

Any suggestions gratefully received.
