   I have an irc.el file I want to read into Emacs. I'm new to Emacs itself, so
   how would I go about this?

	Well, in your .emacsrc file just add the line:
(load "irc.el")		if irc.el is in your load path;  otherwise,
	you could always use (if you're already running emacs):
M-x load-file
	and then respond with the full path name of the e-lisp file.

hope this helps.
