I have a //gs as well as an AT.  What I did was to use Proterm (or any other
communucations program for that matter...) to transfer the files over.  Proterm
works well on the //gs b/c you can translate the Appleworks files to standard
text files using its editor.  It will read in standard Appleworks files, and
write out standard text files.  This works MUCH better than the print output
of Appleworks.
