Welcome to the forum Bill!
The first thing you should probably do is spend a little "quality time" with the iPad User Guide. I know, you're saying, "My iPad didn't come with a user guide!", but there a couple of places to get it.
1) As a free pdf from the Apple website under the Support tab.
2) As a free "iBook" that you can download after you install the free iBook app.
3) Use the online version that can be accessed through the link provided in the Safari browser app.
Enjoy!
