C.K. - Have you noticed when you type 'C-h i' that the *info* buffer it 
takes you to says at the top:

    This (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics.
    Typing "d" returns here, "q" exits, "?" lists all INFO commands, "h"
    gives a primer for first-timers, "mEmacs<Return>" visits the Emacs
    topic,
    etc.

You can try "?" for a quick overview of keys you can type to navigate 
around the Emacs documentation.  But I'd strongly suggest you type "h" 
and work through the tutorial.  It's not very long, and knowing how to 
navigate through the documentation will make your life a whole lot easier.
