install xecutah (it'll also install xserver and xterm for you)

install unzip (you can also install zip) from preware

run xecutah first, within xecutah, click xserver (a x-window should show up now). Swipe x-window up but don't close it. Go back to xecutah, click on xterm. Go back to the x-window, now you can type commands.

go to the zip file folder
$cd /media/internal/....... (whatever the path)
$ls (this will show if you have the zip file there)
$unzip xxxxxx.zip -d yyyyyyyy

you should have the files unzipped into folder yyyyyyyy

Where do the temp files for the cbr and cbz files go when ComicShelf unzips/unrars a comic? (Touchpad is at home and I never thought of trying this before...)
