Installation problems

[Cjfogg@aol.com]

Hi,

I am very new to programming and have gotten a little confused with Cygwin-
b20.  I hate to ask a simple question, but I have downloaded user-man.tar.bz2,
stored it in Wordpad, and haven't the first clue how to read it.  I have tried
to 'cd' to it but keep getting the reply;
 
user-man.tar.bz2: Is a directory.

What am I doing wrong?  If I can't read the manual I don't have very high
hopes for my programming career!
Thanks,
Catherine
