Zip Files

[Charles Malespin]

Hi all, 
  I am trying to zip some files in a dir.  that I have in my home
folder.  I read the man, and I did
  zip -r /home/malespin/Space\Magnets  

and it said it zipped the files in there.  But where did they go?  I
cant find them at all?  Plus how can I zip only particular files in the
folder without zipping all of them?  I thought that 
  zip -r /home/malespin/Space\Magnets *.pdf 
would work but it didnt....  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks, 
Charles
