  Quick suggestion:

  After you unzip an archive you get a lot of text files.  An easy way to find
the topics you are interested is to search for them with the grep program (see
man grep or man fgrep).

  Alternatively you can concatenate the files with the unix command cat.  I
think you want to write: cat *.txt >> bigfile.txt .  Then you just open
bigfile.txt with your favorite editor and search for keywords.


  I hope this helps.
