Thanks. I now tried

unrar e p naidoo.rar

but it says:

Cannot open p.rar
No such file or directory
No files to extract

So I think that dashes must be there. Do I have to indicate the path to where 
it should be extracted?

I also tried

unrar p e naidoo.rar

which gives slightly the same msg:

Cannot open e.rar
No such file or directory
No files to extract

And

unrar -pe naidoo.rar

fails as did my first unrar-commands...
