Stuart, I was also unfamiliar with the OSX CD burning routine until reading about it here (on a OS10.2.8 system). Tried it and it worked smoothly on the first attempt. Files opened just fine on the other end ... a Win XP system. The only complicating factor I could see is that it's so easy that a person could get tripped up by trying to make it difficult.
You insert the blank CD and answer the question about what to call it. You drag the files onto it. You select the CD icon and select "Burn Disk" from the File menu. You eject the CD. First rule of Macs: Never look for instructions before attempting to do something. Usually it's easier to do it than to read about it. Second rule of Macs: The most difficult thing to do on a Mac is forgetting the convoluted steps required to make a Windoze machine work.
