According to what I've read, the "obvious thing" you are missing is this:

	A/UX is a schmuck, second-rate, half-baked product.

The reviews I've read complained about this very problem.  It seems
that you must boot MacOS, copy your file to a floppy, boot Unix, and
copy from the floppy back to the hard disk.

Remember *that* next time you talk about Apple's wonderful human interfaces.
