There are two ways that I know of.

1) One is to do it "by hand". You can always explicitly extract a file from an
archive by specifying its name and extension. Through some piping and editing,
you could develop a batch file to extract your top-level *.txt files.

2) The other way is to use an extraction-enabled file manager (like FM/2) to do
the work. In FM/2, I can view the contents of an archive. I can highlight
file names in the view container and specifically extract them. I think, but
am not certain, that you can even specify a directory to unzip them to.

Hope this helps some.
