Point to and Click on Ok. (your screen will turn back to the classic screen) Point to and click on the Add icon button When you click on the Add icon, another window will open and here you can select all the files you want to have zipped.

If, however, you want to select only certain files and they do not appear in a continuous stream, hold down the control key [Ctrl] as you click each of the non-continuous files. Then ... Point to and Click on Add (you will be returned to the classic menu screen) To Exit the program.... do the following: Point to and click back on File (from the main pull-down menu -- a submenu will appear) Point to and click on Close Archive. Voila -- that's it.. Now if you are zipping files to a floppy and the files are too large for the disk, don't worry, Winzip will prompt you to add additional disks.
