Following Earle R. Horton's suggestion, I now use a shell script to
strip all header/trailer lines from the already concatenated file.
The script is simply:

cat $1 | sed -n -e '/ /d' -e '/	/d' -e '/^---$/d' -e '/./p' > $1.hqx
rm $1
                     ^         ^           ^           ^
                     remove    remove      remove      pass all
                     lines     lines       lines       other lines
                     with a    with a      containing  through to
                     space     tab         only "---"  the output
                                                       file

This is the same as Earle's, except for the deletion of lines which
have a tab in them also.  I've only used this since last week but
it has worked so far.  After running this script, I then download
the file, with kermit (text), and unbinhex (hexbin?) the file on
the Mac.
