I have a lot of Microsoft Works 4.0 documents and want to open them in AppleWorks 6.0. They are on two different computers that I haven't been able to network as yet. I'd rather not install MS Works on the new computer, as I don't need it now that I have AppleWorks. How can I do it?

You're going to have to connect the two computers somehow, as I highly suspect that the Mac with AW6 on it doesn't have a floppy drive, and the one with MSWorks doesn't have a Zip drive or CD burner.
Ethernet cables and hubs are cheap; invest about $30 and you should have a decent setup.
