$ emacs filename

Take a look at the man page for emacs
or use this link (note the version - yours may be different)

If you have a terminal window on your system or you have a session running on the system, you will have some type of prompt (% or $ ). Type man emacs at that prompt or emacs filename.

Check out the link - it has good information throughout the web site for anyone wanting to learn.

Go to the link I placed in the other replies - it has man pages there also. Use your web browser to get there.
