If you want to open a Mac PM file in Windows PM, don't change the file name after saving on the Mac.  I find Windows PM won't recognise the file if this is done. 

But you can do a "save as" on the Mac to create a file with the appropriate .pm6/.p65 extension. Macs usually recognise Windows PM files even if their name has been changed, though. 

To read PC disks (floppies and CDs) on a Mac, ensure that Foreign File Exchange is enabled.  This will also let you write to PC disks. 

On the PC, you can read Mac disks using a utility such as MacDisk or MacOpener.
