There is a brand new HowTo about this at Zope.org:

	http://www.zope.org/Members/anser/howto_dtml_mimetype

(although www.zope.org seems to be unreachable this morning...) The simplest
way is simply to put

	Content-type: application/vnd.fdf

followed by a blank line, at the very top of your DTML Method that's
supposed to return one of these forms.
