This is a very easy thing to do.

First, from the Session Configuration menu under the DOS-73 Utilities
menue, define a drive (say, e:) with the name unix (all lowercase).

Next, start up a DOS-73 session and copy the files from where ever to
drive e:.

When you return to UNIX you will find the files in your Filecabinet
directory.  They will have ^M characters at the end of each line, but
these characters are easy to get rid of in vi (as was discussed on the
net at great length some time ago).
