PageMaker files xfer from old mac to new mac

[macsrbest]

We have a teacher that was using Pagemaker 6.5 on an iMac running 9.2.2. She just received a brand new eMac with 10.4.2 Tiger. I was able to install Pagemaker 6.5 and run it runs fine in classic mode. I copied her old PM files to the new machine using a USB thumb drive.
The problem is, PM will not read any of her old files that were transfered from the old machine. PM will create and save new files.
Any Ideas ??
Thanks

The problem is, PM will not read any of her old files that were transfered from the old machine

Can you be more specific?

The files are located on the new Mac, having been copied from the USB flash drive?

They are otherwise visible in the File Manager?

After loading PM, are they visible after File -> Open?
