             Hello,
                    I am using emacs on my SUN SPARK Station and while 
writing some C codes, I am getting really frustrated by the lack of 
power of this editor. Or maybe, it is just the fact that having recently
used the editor from Turbo C, I was spoiled. Anyway, is there somebody
that could tell me how to do the folowing commands in the smallest number
of steps:
1) How to cut and paste a word, line, paragraph?
2) How to set a mark on a particular line, go somewhere else, do some 
   stuff and then go back to my mark.
3) How to know on which line I am ?
4) How to block part of a text and print it, delete it or copy it to some
   other program?
5) Any reference to a good book that can help me master the secrets of emacs.

                I would appreciate any help,
                                Thanks
