Aaron's giving good answers but I am not clear why the question
emphasises doing this while -shell-ing out. I've had good results
under Windows with PeaZip
http://peazip.sourceforge.net/index.html
and I typically enter PeaZip as a separate application. Then it's
usually easy to see what's what. That is especially helpful if the
compressed file is not quite as you expect, or contains several files,
which are not equally interesting or useful.
I note that as a generality the answers to such questions depend on
operating system; it's only an incidental mention of "win" as a prefix
that lets us guess that Pablo is using Windows. The FAQ encourages you
to specify operating system if it could possibly be pertinent.
