How do add an object with the mtl, 's on the object?

Your question needs a bit more explanation.

If you are new to anim8or did you see the tutorials here http://www.anim8or.com/learn/tutorials/index.html

Check out "A simple walk" for a quick intro to lots of functions....

I think earp is referring to the material file associated with the .obj file format. V0.98 doesn't read these files. However the current development builds do. Try this one:

build 1264 (http://www.anim8or.com/download/preview/files/animcl1264.zip) dated December 28, 2016.

The textures download as separate files. Do I have to apply them myself?

You may have to. First try putting them in the same directory as the .obj file. But sometime the path name doesn't match, so just load them into the Anim8or project and then you can save an .an8 file and it will find them the next time.
