Personally, if I were restoring a single file I'd use "restore" interactively. You get a "restore>" prompt and you can traverse it just like a directory, i.e., with "cd", "ls", etc. Then you can mark the file(s)/directory you want to restore using "add" and then give the "extract" command to restore those files you've marked. I don't know for a fact that the linux version of restore supports the interactive mode but it's worth a shot. Just invoke restore with the "-i" argument. Good Luck!
