I just learnt how to create a new Compressed Folded and drag/drop several
files into it, but how can I make an automated command to do the same
without using the mouse? I am often zipping the same set of files.

With PKZIP you could type e.g.
PKZIP HEAP.ZIP THINGY.TXT CHUNK.TXT STUFF.TXT
but PKZIP doesn't accomodate file names with more than 8 characters.

Regards,

Jean-Pierre Coulon (here "cacas.pam" is what others call "nospam")

Pkzip has a command line option that you have to download that will
accomodate this. I've downloaded it before but not sure where I got it
from. But it does exist.
