Chris suggested (what I did not think of)...

It would look similar to...

!job xferpc,user.acct
!# you mentioned weekly run
!stream myself ;in=7
!# convert textfile to bytestream format
!xeq /bin/tobyte "-at MPEFILE PCFILE1"
!# might need to add CR for DOS text
!xeq /bin/awk " '{print $0 ""\r""}' PCFILE1 > PCFILE2 "
!# now send to shared Windows drive
!xeq /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient &
! "\\yourPC\pcShare passwd -U pcuser -c 'copy PCFILE2 \dir\file.txt'"
!# might want to clean up temp files
!xeq /bin/rm "PCFILE1 PCFILE2"
!# done
!bye

The above might need some fine tuning or bug fixes as I have
not tested it myself (sitting at home), but shows the concept.
