Hi,
I was wondeing if I could do most of the things I do in
Midnight Commander, in emacs, and by and large I can. Hoever I
cannot seem to read the file "guidebook.gz". I could open it for
viewing in mc, but not in emacs.
I am a little confused because emacs views the info files, a
lot of which are in file.gz format.
So how do you view a gz file in emacs?

With `auto-compression-mode' turned on. Try
`M-x auto-compression-mode RET'
put
(auto-compression-mode 1)
in your .emacs or do
`M-x customize-variable RET auto-compression-mode RET'
