Joan, ok, then a typical command line would be: unzip filename where filename stands for the name of the zip file, less the .zip extension. So, if you had a file you downloaded onto dh0:/downloads by the name of Goodies.ZIP and wanted to extract it onto your ram disk, you'd do the following: cd ram: unzip dh0:/downloads/goodies And the files should be extracted to the ramdisk. In the doc file, "file[.zip]" means that need to tell unzip what file, and where the file is (current directory is assumed) and that you do not need to type the .zip extension because it is assumed by the program to exist. Thus in my above example, a file must exist named goodies.zip in your dh0:downloads directory and unzip will then presume that filename when you tell it dh0:/downloads/goodies (it will internally add and look for goodies.zip). make sense?
