I'm surprised that this is the default behavior.  I expected the behavior to be 
like "bash", where the current working directory remains the current working 
directory when I launch an application.

Thanks for the tip.  I was able to get "Open with..." to work from the file's 
directory using either of the following:

cd %d;/opt/seitz/zip/unzip-5.52/unzip %f
/opt/seitz/zip/unzip-5.52/unzip -d %d %f
