Wouldn't it be possible to implement folders in the way you mentioned by
using a command alias?  I haven't mastered the use of such things yet, but
it should certainly be possible to say "uncompress %1.Z ; folder %*; compress
%1", where %1 should be replaced with Mush's syntax for the first parameter
and %* with the syntax for all parameters.

Of course, using this technique would keep all of your folders compressed
unless you gave the cmd a new name.  (How about zfolder, zfo for short?)
