David,
Thanks for the explanation. I discovered Midnight Commander but thought
that I had actually opened and expanded the tar file by clicking on it.
Those questions are not dumb to a new newbie.

Hello Steve,
Not a dumb question, the only dumb question is one that is never asked.
There are several methods available to look inside of a .tgz, tar.gz,
rpm file the easiest, without unpacking the file is to use Midnight
Commander. In order to start Midnight commander all you need to do is
type mc at a console prompt such as you would have when in an xterm
under Xwindow enviroment or such as you would have at a normal Linux
Console once you supply your login and password. Simply type mc
When the file manager loads simply change to the directory in which the
file is that you wish to view, highlight the file using your arrow keys
then while the file is highlighted simply hit the return key to open it
for viewing. I hope this will help you.
