Did you mean Ctrl-h t I second the emacswiki site and the info pages. Emacswiki is great when you're just generally curious or looking for third party extensions, general subjects or just trawling for tips. I skim through it at least a few times a week, and usually learn something new each time. The info pages have a pretty good introduction and all the detail you'll probably ever need. Don't forget to look up the emacs lisp info pages if you're interested in configuring / customizing stuff. Joost.
