libURLDownLoadToFile

[Alex Tweedly]

Create a new mainstack
create a button in it
put the following script into it
    -- that should work
change the file name to match the real example
    --- see if that works
change the URL to match your real example
    -- see if that works.

Then uncross your fingers :-)
