Try putting the following in your .cshrc...

alias send 'macput `xbin -l \!* |grep macname|tr -d \: |sed s/macname.//|tr \\40 _;xbin \!*`'
alias list 'xbin -l \!* '

Here's the first line again, broken so it fits into the terminal width for
reading:

alias send 'macput `xbin -l \!* |grep macname|\
	tr -d \: |sed s/macname.//|tr \\40 _;xbin \!*`'

Invocation:  'send file.hqx' 
               xbin the file and macput it right away
             'list file.hqx'
               short summary of what's in it

I don't claim that the first one is the best way to do it, in fact it 
probably is not.  It's just something I whipped up after reading Herb's
posting.  (I did test it, seemed to work.)  These both take advantage
of the -l switch in xbin which causes it to read the header from the
binhex file and print it out.  

Here is a summary of how it works:

I know what the line containing the Mac file name looks like, so I grep
for it, remove "macname: ", and then convert all blanks to underlines.
The result is the name that the xbined files will have on the host.  I
then run xbin, and if everything goes normally, macput gets the correct
file name as argv[1].
