If you put the following two lines in your .cshrc, you can use them
to a) determine the base of the filename that the ".info, .etc" files
will have after xbin is used on the binhexed file and b) xbin the
file, send it to your Mac using macput, prompt you for permission
to delete the xbined files afterwards.  Use of these aliases keeps
your disk usage down, since only the binhexed file exists on the
UNIX file system for any appreciable length of time.  This keeps
system managers friendly.

Usage:
     a) macname file.hqx
     b) macdl file.hqx

alias macname 'xbin -l \!*|grep macname|tr \\40 _|sed s/macname._//'
alias macdl 'xbin \!*;macput `macname \!*`;rm -i `macname \!*`.*'
