I'm sure that if you begin to try it without pre-conceived ideas you can figure out, like many other people has done already, the basics of the program. Nevertheless you can try to read the already available user’s guide in Portuguese, Italian, German and Japanese, present, if installed, in the Help subfolder (directly accessible in Menu Help>Contents or F1 key if respective interface idiom in use). If you do not understand these idioms try to use translation software. Many web sites provide this functionality.
Because my English is not so good the English version of the manual is delayed, but some developments in this subject go to be released soon.
Also try to read some messages in this forum, some are outdate but you can get the idea.
Like the one

In respect to the columns with only one letter, put something in the grid and click on them. If you do that the functionality is obvious. A for select all, I for invert selection, D to sort by file system date, without the need to make the system date column visible in the grid, and S for sort by file size.

If some doubts persist please insist ;-)
