Using Unbuntu with Gnome I can see files using the 'mc' command (midnight commander) but I can't see them when I do a simple ls command. Can someone explain this?

Are they hidden files? Do a 'ls -la' which shows all files (even hidden).

I see them with ls -la. What does this mean? How do I unhide them or hide them?

The l is used for long-listing. This means it shows information about size, permissions, etc. The a makes ls to return all files, also the hidden ones, like Jordan said.
