After giving this some more thought, I think I'd like to see the existing wording kept as is. this is because we are trying to change the wording to better suite users who have had alternative education and not because the wording accurately describes or make the process immediately obvious. We are confusing usability with familiarity.
I'd also like to point out that most of the users I teach don't want to 'zip things up' because they need compression, but because they need to combine files together into a virtual folder. Calling it compress actually detracts from the thought pattern of what users want to do.
