I know it is possisible to d/l a TeX file to an Apple Laserwriter, but
I don't know the correct way. The file I want to d/l is on a UNIX
box. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Apple Laserwriters take two forms of input - straight text, and postscript. We use a program ( dvi2ps ) to convert files from DVI to ps (shocked, eh? ;-) Around here, one need only specify the -d option to lpr to invoke the dvi2ps filter. One more note, beware that in order to print these files, the Laserwriter will need access to any fonts used in the document that are not built in.
