thereshope,

Yeah, that helped solve the problem for me. Thanks. Here's what I did: I clicked on Neil's GP5 version of Wonderful Tonight, which opened up another screenful of garbage text. In Safari, I did a Save As. It asked me if I wanted to append a .txt extension on the file, which I declined. It then wrote a GP5 file to my desktop, which opened perfectly in GP. Bravo!

Great DennisG

Glad to be of help.... here's hoping dynamohm resolves it too. :)
It's interesting that this problem is inconsistent. Most of the time, I can click on a GP5 file, and it just downloads. But only occasionally will it give me a screen full of garbage. At least now I know what to do about it when that happens. I download stuff all the time, and this only happens with GP files.

That's great....thanks.

Dennis G .... I don't know much about servers but maybe this link will be of use to those that do..

http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php? ... 1102018600

So maybe...
AddType application/gp5 .gp5
Uncertain about this....

Bad news and good news: the bad news is that the main tip in the article refers to those who run a server, which none of us users do. Matt runs the TG server, so he should look at the above link and make the changes as necessary.

But there's also good news: instead just clicking on a GP5 file, Mac users should right-click (or control-click) on it, then select Download Linked File from the contextual menu. I tried it with the Wonderful Tonight GP5 file, and it downloaded perfectly. Crisis averted.

Thanks for all your help, TheresHope.
