How to add translators to MacWrite II?

Hello all:

I have a number of copies of Claris' MacWrite II (version 1.0Bv2). With it I
can import/export to a few formats such as Word 3.0, MacWrite, WriteNow, and
Works. However, judging from advertisements and reviews, I should be able
to go between other formats, most notably WordPerfect (DOS), and Word 4. I
obtained a number of files from a local dealer which (as I understand) are
Translator files, but I am unable to use them. Nothing in any manuals I have
say anything about adding additional translators. I've tried putting these files
in various places (the MacWrite application folder, the System Folder, the
System Folder:Claris folder, the System Folder:Claris:Claris Translators
folder, ...) with no luck. I even tried pasting resources from these files into
a copy of the MacWrite application. I've about run out of ideas.

So, can anyone shed any light on this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks very much, 

jonathan
