OFG, no noob question is stupid. Noob questions are what this forum is for, so fire away! Just bear in mind that it may take some time to get answers, so you will need to be patient at times and wait until the obvious brains and other folks like me who just try hard can get back to you.
By the way, with dial-up access I won't bother recommending the online tutorials to you. You can hope that they include the manual with the CD that they are sending to you, but I would not count on that.
However, if you can see your way clear to tying up the phone for an hour or two, you would do well to download the manual and at least skim through that. It's 19.45 MB, so maybe you might want to download it late at night. Here's where to go:

They mention on that page that you need Adobe Reader, and provide the link to the Adobe web site. Hopefully you already have that program. Unfortunately, Adobe Reader version 8 by itself (unselecting the other stuff that they offer with it) is another 22.3 MB download; version 7 is 20.3 MB and version 6, which I believe you could still use, is 15.9 MB.
The manual is tremendous, but so is this game. I strongly recommend that you get the manual, one way or the other.
If all of this seems like too much downloading, however, then you will have to rely on the in-game help (press the F1 key) which is context-related and very helpful when it is available. Unfortunately, through the second patch, it is not completed, not available everywhere in the game, and some links take you nowhere or to error pages.
Well, I guess I and a bunch of others will be talking to you. Good luck!
