I'm really new at this, just started ComputerCraft today. I was wondering if you could hide the computer hud so I could play a game on a monitor, if I exit the gui then I can't interact with the computer.

If you're on MineCraft 1.7.10, MoarPeripherals offers a
keyboard for exactly this sort of thing.
Every now and then someone comes along and writes a keyboard that runs through monitors,
eg.
You can also connect buttons and pressure plates to your computer and have it wait for redstone events. See
os.pullEvent() for more on events in general.
Really though, you're better off writing your games to respond directly to monitor_touch events.

Also, I can't close some files that I opened, CTRL+T, CTRL+ R, and CTRL+S don't work

R/S should always work, though scripts can opt to ignore T. Holding Ctrl+R longer should do the trick.
Note that if a computer completely crashes or is otherwise shut down, you'll need to exit and then re-enter the GUI before it'll turn on again.

It doesn't seem to work on the server i'm playing, reconnecting works with the portable computer, might it be in the config file?

Not sure what you mean by this. Are you saying Ctrl+R works if you quit the server and rejoin, or are you talking about closing / re-opening the computer GUI, or…?
might it be in the config file?
Nope.

Oh, I mean when I rejoin with the portable computer, the file open closes. I've been destroying and replacing the computer to fix my issue

I'd be thinking it's related to your keyboard…
Try running this in the Lua console, then hitting Ctrl. If you have multiple Ctrl keys, try it once for each. What's it say each time?:
event, key = os.pullEvent("key") print(keys.getName(key))

UPDATE: I haven't figured out restarting and shutting down the computers but I realized holding CTRL+T for 1 second terminates the program.

Then doing that with ctrl-s should shut it down and ctrl-r should reboot
