Easiest way is to use a Shell program (Charles Johnson's ArcShell?)
and set ut up to either create directories or whatever.  Other way is
to open the window to your arc program, open a second window to your
desired destination, hold right mouse button down while double clicking on the
arc program (in unselected window).  Do what you've been doing at this point.

Most correct way is to enter the command at the .ttp prompt (having done
things the way you've been doing...) "x a:\srcpath\srcfile.arc b:\dstpath\*.*"
where a: and b: are the source and dest. drives. and srcpath is the source
files path, srcfile.arc is the arc file, dstpath is the path where you want
to put the files from the archive, and *.* meand extract every file!

Double clicking on arc.ttp and giving the argument "h" (single char) will
usually cause it to tell you how to use it.  Good luck.
