Being a novice 'downloader' of files I have a simple question:

I have downloaded files from comp.mac.binaries (i.e. SuperClock 3.1)
which were to be converted with BinHex 4.0.

I "saved" them to our VAX as a standard text file, downloaded them
to my Mac+, and converted them using BinHex 4.0.

My problem is that I get blank sheet icons with a corner folded over
and they are labeled with a ".sit" suffix.

HOW DO I GET RIDE OF THE ".sit" STUFF AND GET THE REAL FILES?
