>From within emacs, you can get to the docs for this by typing:
C-h imemacs RET mcustomization RET

C-h means control-h, RET means return....

A simple example:

M-x global-set-key RET (key) (cmd) RET.

M-x means 'meta-x' or 'alternate-x' or 'escape followed by x' if you don't  
have an escape or meta key.

Learn to use the online documentation.  The online docs are your friends!   
"C-h i" (as above) gets you there.  As an alternative, you can buy the  
printed version from the FSF for about $15.  It's worth it.

Have fun!
