u-emacs usage

[Thomas J Keller]

   I am the proud owner and user of micro-emacs.  I am using it on a pseudo-
computer clone (NCR PC-6, for all that it matters).

   I have the doc files that came with u-emacs, but find them woefully 
inadequate for anything but getting started.  I am in need of pointers to
additional documentation or directions on the usage of emacs.

   Specifically, at this time, I would like to know how to do several things
which are trivial in vi, and I am sure can be done easily enough in emacs if
one but knew HOW:

1)  I would like to know how to mark a section of text (a 'region' in emacs,
I believe), and then write that region out to a new disk file,

2)  I would like to know how to use regular expression in global search and
replace,

3)  I would like to know how to have emacs go directly to a given line number
in the text file (not upon entry, THAT I know how to do),

4)  in general, I would like pointers to information which would permit me to
learn to be a competent emacs user.

Please e-mail responses, I will summarize to the net if others are interested.

Thanks in advance.
