Make retrieve set the correct content-type and content-disposition in the
response's headers, and you'll be able to choose the name of the file.

an example with application/pdf as the content-type :

<UNTESTED>
=09...
=09filename =3D "myfile.pdf"
=09REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/pdf')
=09REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename=
=3D%s' % filename)
        return filedata()
        ...
<UNTESTED>

filedata() shoudl retunr the actual file contents.
