1. If you right-click on a LHA archive, you get the option to "Unpack to...", but selecting it does nothing?


There seem to be a lot of stuff missing or not pre-installed. (no "ed" or "edit" or any other text-editor preinstalled?)
Luckely it's easy on Amiga to see what is missing.
SnoopDOS is pre-installed (it's in Sys:utilities)

Open SnoopDOS and then try to extract an LHA using the "right-click/unpack to" command.
It will tell you that this command tries to open "requestFile" - which can't be found.
-> download one of the many filerequesters (e.g. https://aminet.net/package/util/batch/RequestFileR3 ) and put it in your C folder.

Than SnoopDos will tell you it tries to open "Xadunfile" which can't be found.
-> download it from https://aminet.net/package/util/arc/xadmaster020 (install the package)

Done!

It would be nice to have a little more pre-installed goodies in AmiBench, but I guess it's still early days and things will improve.
(Did I hear something flying by of an AmigaSys release in September ?)
