If I understand you properly I think the following would do what you want
#!/bin/sh
for i in `ls *.zip`
do
unzip ${i} -d ${i}.unzipped
done
Thank you very much indeed! Seems just what I wanted. But can I save the
archive names in an array for further manipulation? Also, how can I type
that apostrophe ` from my keyboard?
Cheers,

Useless use of backticks --- what about
for i in *.zip
?

For the array I think you do need bash. I'm not familiar with arrays in shell;
someone else may be able to help you there.
As far as the backquote (`), it seems you answered your own question by typing
it into your email. (But the backquote is on the tilde (~) key, if you don't
push shift).
