   Command line 7-Zip question - controllin

   I have batch files (in Windows 10, FWIW) using 7-Zip; a copy   
   of 7z.exe is in a folder on the Path.  They have lines like   
   this, which work :-   
      
          7Z a ASTRGRAV.ZIP astr*.htm grav*.htm   
      
   I want to have, on the screen as the lines execute,   
   (a) much less writing; what I am getting shoots past too   
       quickly to be read,   
   (b) the names of the files, and maybe of the folders, as   
       each is being read;   
   (c) a short settable delay between files, so that I can   
       see their names pass by.   
      
      
   IIRC, with the traditional ZIP (from Garbo) that I used up   
   to a couple of years ago, I just got (b) without need for (c).   
      
   Is any of that possible, and if so, how (I don't want to do it by   
   redirection into a pipe or file for subsequent processing for   
   display) ?   
      
   Also, I want to be sure that the output file has been   
   compressed into a form which all normal decompressers,   
   and most operating systems, can decode.
