Good news... although I won't get to learn from putting all this good advice into practice... ;-)
my friend down the street has a computer that runs linux and he was able to copy files successfully off one of my mom's floppies onto a thumb drive for me. Furthermore, I was able to open the files in Text Edit and capture the key strokes.
I'll keep this thread available in case I get stuck, but it looks like I've got a suitable solution without too much stress. I hope this discussion has been helpful to others.
