	Though I have been an IBM-compatible user, I soon will have
routine access to a Mac+ and a Mac SE at work.  I would very much like
to transfer files between the Mac(s) and my IBM-compatibles at home.

	Specifically, I use WordPerfect 5.0 at home on a Leading Edge
D and a Zenith SuperSport (someone else paid for it; I'm not that
flush), and I transfer files between them using Brooklyn Bridge.  

	I know I will have Microsoft Word for the Mac at school; maybe
WordPerfect for the Mac (though I'd bet not).

	So, is there any easy or relatively easy or moderately
difficult way to transfer files among these machines?  Is there any
hope at all that I could create ASCII files on the Mac and read them
on the IBM-compatibles and vice-versa.  

	In short, I want to be able to write in one environment, take
the files to the other, and continue working on them.  My immediate
concern is most definitely word processing files; other kinds, later.

	Post or e-mail as you see fit.  I have a feeling many people
are wrestling with this problem and similar ones these days.
