Daemon, the problem is the printing to disk function of GS/OS. The printing to
puts in garbage characters that should be edited out. These characters are easy
to see if you are using an editor like the WriteIt! NDA. They occur when the
Laserwriter driver (designed for Appletalk) prints information that is supposed
to be coming from Appletalk...unfortunately since Appletalk isn't operational
(probably) the info is taken at random from the ether resulting in garbage
characters in what really should be a straight ascii text file.
    Before carting that file into Appleworks you should use any one of the many
ascii text editing programs to fix that file. A Program such as Egoed, or
WriteIt will do fine.
