Default Need Help!!!

So, I have done some searching and still can't seem to find an answer, so I am hoping that I can get some help or have my head pointed in the right direction. I have downloaded some zipped backdrops for my Q, but I can't seem to find a way to unzip them, or to access them in my homescreen options so that I can use them. How do I unzip files on my Q? I can see the downloaded zip file in the "My Documents" section of the file manager, but that is it.

In case you can't tell, I am just a "little" ignorant on using my Q.

transfer them back to a PC and unzip them there. or if you have documents to go it also has an unzip utility

So once I unzip the zip file, it will become a cab file that I can then sync back into my phone? Or, it is pretty easy to upload a program to my phone that will allow me the ability to unzip the file?

In case you can't tell, I am very ignorant about these topics.
