[Techtalk] 'nother obvious newbie question

[Rachel Herold]

help!
okay, I get it installed, how come I can't figure out how to read the dern
doc files?  I found a whole set of help files ending in .gz but haven't been
able to figure out how to read/open them.  I've tried all the obvious
things, a few non-obvious things (at least non-obvious to a windows person),
but I give up and decided I shouldn't waste so much time (2 hours is enough)
when I can ask someone.

Thanks,
Rachel
