HP-UX vxrestore need assistance

I need to restore 1 file from 1 tape created with vxdump on a HP Ultrium 400 tape. Didn't think it would be that hard until the prompts of vxrestore caused some confusion.

Tape has 13 EOM (end of job markers). Our partitions (6) from the 1st backup and 6 from 2nd backup.

mt -f /dev/ntape fsf 13 takes me to the partition I want the file from.

[3] % vxrestore -i
 vxrestore > cd tmp
 vxrestore > ls
./tmp:
 Friday-050908-0015.date      Tuesday-050608-0015.date
 Saturday-051008-0015.date    Wednesday-050708-0015.date
 Thursday-050808-0015.date
 vxrestore > add Wednesday-050708-0015.date
 vxrestore > ls
./tmp:
 Friday-050908-0015.date      Tuesday-050608-0015.date
 Saturday-051008-0015.date   *Wednesday-050708-0015.date
 Thursday-050808-0015.date
vxrestore > extract

set owner/mode for '.'? [yn] n

I don't understand the volume prompt or why it is asking for the tape info?
Do I just insert the tape and when prompted for the volume type in 13
Can I just return thru the prompts while at the 13th position on tape.

Thank you.
