Will show you a list of key bindings.  In particular:

M-<             beginning-of-buffer
M->             end-of-buffer

M-< can be typed as:

[ESCape key] [< key]

On the mac you may be able to hold down command or option while typing
< to get the same effect. Under windows the ALT key will do this.

Thank you, Ben. Perhaps I did not state my question correctly or I did
not understand your answer because I am a novice in emacs. Please bear
with me once again to state what I want to do.

I am simply trying to go to the top/middle/bottom of the screen I see
at the moment.
I also tried your suggestion but that will take me to the
beginning/end of buffer but not necessarily what I see on the screen
at the moment.

For example, if I see the content of file in my emacs screen as
follows, I want to somehow to go to abc with one key stroke.

======================
 abc
 def
 ghi
 jkl
 mno
======================


Try

  M-r
  C-- M-r
  C-1 M-r
