If all else fails, you could read the documentation.  Right at the top
of the Emacs manual it is mentioned that "h" will take you to an Info
tutorial.

Anyway, here is how to look at "spell" via the index:

C-h i d m emacs RET i spell RET

You can also select the Emacs manual from the Help menu, then type

    i spell RET
