On-the-fly indexing difference between lynx and mosaic

Hi folks. I am trying to allow browsing of directory structures
on my ftp server by going in through ftp, to wit:

ftp://ftp.ncts.navy.mil/pub/navpalib/navnews/somefile.txt

changes to (www and ftp are the same machine):

http://ftp.ncts.navy.mil/navpalib/navnews/somefile.txt

I used the ncsa httpd to alias /navpalib to /home/ftp/pub/navpalib.

In any event, this URL retrieves the textfile under Mosaic, but lynx
prompts for a save file. Any ideas? Is it the .txt extensions?
