I've never used PFS Write (started with HomeWord, then
Applewriter, and finally Appleworks,) but the file is likely a text file
(with embedded formatting codes) or possibly binary. You should be able
to copy them to a 3.5 ProDOS floppy with a utility like Copy II Plus, or
I think the original ProDOS disks had utilities for transferring DOS3.3
files. Then it's a matter of AW6 being able to recognize the PFS files.
Else, if you don't mind the loss of formatting, if PFS Write is
able to save/print to a text file, you can do that, copy it to a 3.5
then make the final transfer to the Mac.
