	Stuffit Deluxe, due soon from Aladdin Systems inc., will offer almost
all of the functionality you wish.  It will unbinhex, unStuff and delete files
for you, and with the new scripting language you can make the processe quite
automagic.  What I do is to run a script called 'Do New' which unbinhexes and
then unstuffs (into new folders) all of the files that I just downloaded which
end in .hqx.  Also since Deluxe is fully MF compat, this happens in the
background while I go back to writing code. 

Disclaimer: I am obviously a beta testers for Deluxe as well as being good
friends with all of the involved parties so I guess that makes me biased ;-)
