Are there any command line utilities to open .7z files that are a little more intuitive than the current "7z" command?

In other words, I esentially want an equivalent of the Unix "head" command.
After discovering a few tricks from some other user (sorry don't remember who it was), I came up with this:

Hi. I'm having trouble writing a wrapper script for the command line text editor gnu ed.

Yesterday I ran apt-get upgrade on my Mythbuntu 10.04 system with Mythtv 0.25. It had only been a few weeks since the last time I ran an upgrade (I try to stay current). After the upgrade my display was so dark that I can barely see what is going on when watching a show. It is like the contrast has been turned way up.
I have verified that the TV is working correctly.
