Is there an app that will give one a list of all the available files in a repo? If so, how are the repos named, so as to determine which repo one is looking at? Or does the app offer a choice of repos at initiation?

You can use | zypper repos to see which ones are defined in your system; and | zypper search <name> to search for a package. | zypper search --details <name> will tell you what repositories zypper found <name> in. Use | zypper help | less to see what all of its subcommands and options are. When I'm looking for something but I'm not sure what its package name is, I usually use the YaST Software Manager instead; it's a bit more friendly than zypper in those cases. Notice also that in Software Manager you can change the View from 'Search' to 'Repositories' and look at an individual repository, and search within it by then changing the Secondary Filter (bottom left) from 'All Packages' to 'Search'.
