If I understand you correctly, you have both an Apple IIGS and 
a PC,presumably in the same room. 

If that is true, you are probably looking for Crossworks, which 
is sold by Quality Computers (800)777-3642.   It includes 
software for the Apple II and the PC, and a cable that will 
go from any PC to any Apple II.  It costs about $70, but does 
a good job of translating files. The downside is that it 
only translates old file formats: AW V3.0 and earlier, and
on the PC side, Wordperfect 4.2 and Lotus v.??.  Still, any
modern WP or spreadsheet should be able to load those old formats.
