My best bet is that Christen is referring to the minibuffer as "emacs
command prompt".

@Christen: If you are trying to click the mouse in that minibuffer area and
start typing; that's not how it works.

To call any emacs command, you do M-x SOME-COMMAND.

You can do "M-x" by either pressing the Alt key, keeping it pressed and
then pressing the "letter X" key. Or you can press the Esc key, release it
and then press the "letter X" key.
With that, try

M-x help-with-tutorial
