Ok. So you installed p7zip. Go to the command line and typePlease do!7zip is a complete program. Discuss.7zip is not a complete programme, it is an add-on for an existing programme (Archiver in this case)
I came from Windows a couple of years ago, the move does get easier if you stick with it
man p7zip
You should get a description of the program, and how to use it.
But, Unix (and therefore Linux) is designed with the philosophy that programs can be used as building blocks to perform a task, thus they can be run by other programs. They can be run in a "pipeline", where the input is taken from the output of another program, and the output can be fed as the input to another program. Thus, you can use p7zip as a standalone program to do a task for you, or a program such as Archiver can use it as a tool to handle 7-zip files.
