Subject: use www mechanize issues

HI
I am trying to download text file from cboe.org site. here is what i
have done so far
require 'rubygems'
 require 'mechanize'
 require 'logger'

 agent = WWW::Mechanize.new { |a| a.log = Logger.new("mech.log") }
 agent.user_agent_alias = 'Mac Safari'
 page =
agent.get("http://www.cboe.com/delayedquote/QuoteTableDownload.aspx")
 search_form = page.forms.name("QuoteTableDownload").first
 search_form.fields.name("ucQuoteTableDownloadCtl:txtTicker").value =
"yhoo"
  link=search_form.fields.name("ucQuoteTableDownloadCtl:cmdSubmit")
#  link = page.links.find {|l| l.node.text =~ /Download Text File/ }

 search_results = agent.submit(search_form)


 puts search_results.body

My issues are
1. The cboe returns a file as my system does not have a file handler
for it, it would have invoked a popup for me to save it. how do i
simulate it.
2. how do i confirm if the script reached the popup stage?

Thanks 

Seede
