Sounds likely.  Perhaps the web server is giving an incorrect content
type for the .bas... a "text/something" where "application" would be
more appropriate.
If its apache, one can specify mime type to file extension mappings
with type maps.  Curtis if you're monitoring... any chance of looking
at the server and checking if its considering .bas to be a mime type
that makes sense?
