Hi Tricia!

Here's one way: (I'm adding extra punctuation to avoid email software
confusion, but you'll get the drift).

<.a href="filename.ext">Download Now<./a>
  ^delete this period                               ^delete this period

If the file is in a different directory than the page that the link is on,
just insert the path before the filename.

Good luck!

Mike
