If you mean GNU Emacs, type emacs at the prompt to start it.  When it
comes up, press ctrl-h, then t, which runs the tutorial.  Some people
don't like the tutorial, but that's how I learned to use Emacs.

Email me if you want me to send you an ascii quick reference sheet.
Also email me if you have questions as you are learning emacs.
