Personally, if I were restoring a single file I'd use "restore"
interactively. You get a "restore>" prompt and you can traverse it
just like a directory, i.e., with "cd", "ls", etc. Then you can mark
the file(s)/directory you want to restore using "add" and then give
the "extract" command to restore those files you've marked.

I don't know for a fact that the linux version of restore supports the 
interactive mode but it's worth a shot. Just invoke restore with the
"-i" argument.

Good Luck!
