Unfortunately, that doesn't work with AppleWorks 5.1 (nor 5.0, if I
remember right).  They removed the DIF support as a built-in feature.
Instead, you have to use Timeout utilities provided with AW5 to convert
to or from DIF.  (You access the Timeout utilities by pressing
Apple-Escape, then select the appropriate one from the menu.)
