Phantom,

I think you're going about this ProDOS to MS-DOS the wrong way.  The .DSK is a
file extension (ie TXT, BIN, etc on ProDOS).  Several ProDOS "disk images" will
fit on one MS-DOS disk.  On the IBM it will be a "Filename.DSK".               

If you don't understand what I'm saying maybe you should just quit... or maybe
not.

You need a modem or null-modem, if you have the computers close enough to
connect them directly to each other.  Null-modem would also be faster.  
ProTerm can send an entire disk image to the IBM... you need to define the
file type as "Filename.DSK".  Filename will be the disk image but will appear
on the MS-DOS disk as a file.  OK that's it...

If nothing makes sense... I'm just babbling, because I haven't gotten enough to
be actually be posting this...

PS that should read "enough sleep to... etc".
