You may be just over thinking the problem. If you ended up with a file called blah.CUP.TXT, just rename the file and delete the .TXT part. Right click and choose "rename". Simple! Save-As is trying too hard!

Hi John,

one used to be able to do that in the older IE versions, where the entire file name was shown. In my IE7, no file extensions show up in the name and the only hint that something is fishy is the file type column, which in my case was showing 'TXT-file'. The 'Save-As' option in IE7 saved the day; I have not found that option in Chrome yet.

You can see (and change) the file extension in the Windows 7 Explorer if you uncheck the "mask known extensions" option in the map options dialog box.
