Even without any documentation, you can find your way around (but I've had many years of experience on TOPS-20 and gosling emacs ...). Gem does a much better job of being self documenting than gosling emacs does. Even lisp code can contain document strings. I encourage everyone to get a copy of gem and send a contribution to the GNU project. This quality of freeware is well worth it. Now a question for the gem guru's. Can somebody send (or post) a .emacs file for Gnu-emacs. I would like to see a reasonably comlicated template.
