Do you mean that by doing that you can see the directory of a zip archive? If
I do what you say and try to see the directory (contents) of a zip archive,
less asks something like this:

"/tmp/L61548-1TMP.zip" may be a binary file.  See it anyway?

If I answer "y" less displays garbage on the screen because it doesn't have a
binary mode like most. To see the directory (contents) of a zip archive I use

VIEWER:application/zip:unzip -v %s | $PAGER

in my .lynx.cfg or

application/zip;unzip -v %s | $PAGER

in my .mailcap. If your less displays the directory of a zip file then it's
using an input preprocessor through the LESSOPEN environment variable or a
script.

Sorry, but I don't use X-Window. However, maybe the problem you had on
X-Window was caused by the "&" in your VIEWER line, which puts the process in
the background and nothing is displayed.
