That's great, Sam - many thanks

scriptError( "!return" ) is what I was fishing for. Here (following your lines) is the simple "proof of concept" i need for my users:

local (pta=html.getPageTableAddress());
pta^.responseBody ="Date\tDetails\r\25/12/05\tChristmas Day\r"; //trivial example
pta^.responseHeaders.["Content-Type"] = "text/plain";
pta^.responseHeaders.["Last-Modified"] = date.netStandardString( clock.now ());
scriptError( "!return" )

This allows my users to simply copy and paste the output into Excel, which will make them happy bunnies!
