You do? Do you mean that you can't look in a zip file/folder for files to open, or that you can't type in the name of a zip file and have Kurzweil open it? I can open files from within a zip archive from the Kurzweil open dialog, and you should be able to as well. If I type in the name of a zip file in the file name edit Kurzweil will pretend to open it, but it won't have any pages. the only error I get is that I am trying to go to an invalid page when I try to move arround in the empty file. You just have to treat zip files as if they were really folders and it works fine. I've never had a problem opening a KES file from the step 1 page.
