Curretly, gzip'ed files are opened by e-toys, which opens a program that
does nothing useful.
Downloading anything successfully from the internet that is gzip'ed or
tar'ed requires knowledge of the commandline. wget is a solution, as is
copying things out of the datastore, but neither is a solution for
ordinary/novice users.
Archived and compressed files (a likely format for html textbooks) should
be usable by ordinary/novice users.
Tested with joyride-1489
