This sounds silly, I'm sure, but I don't have any clue what they are or what I'm supposed to do with them. They cost me a meg on the server and I open them up to find about 6 ASCII characters, any help on how to look at them proper?

Nick has some pretty good information there, and it should help you get started if you want to debug.
