Actually that would be every file that doesn't have PDOS as a creator 
and the appropriate ProDOS filetype in the filetype area. TEXT and BINA 
are two of the obvious ones, but several are pretty much impossible to 
type from a keyboard.

Been a long time since I've had to deal with that though. It was easier 
to run localtalk between the machines. Although there is a Mac Classic 
program called ProType that puts the correct creator/filetype on a 
ProDOS file based on the extension.
