I asked about a good menu-based tutorial on the emacs mailing list.
So far, as far as I can see theres none.
But the suggestion I got is to use the refcards more.

Most of basic orgmode is available through the menus (org and tbl are the

The ones that have a keyboard shortcut have that listed in the menu when
and if you feel like learning it.
Yes the builtin tutorial is definitely perverse -- recommending Ctrl-P and
Ctrl-N over up and down arrows!!
That's much faster for me than leaving touch typing position, but anyway.
I'd actually recommend the built-in tutorial. It sounds pretty much like
what Josh was asking for.
Just read the emacs startup screen and start from there.
If emacs is ok with you, you may look at
orgmode's

- properties

I'm perfectly OK with emacs if I knew anything about it. :) I know it's
a little OT to ask, but if anyone knows of a slow, to-the-point tutorial
for emacs that will cover getting me cool with the keyboard shortcuts, I'm
all ears. org-mode looks awesome, but those keyboard shortcuts are *damn*
hard to learn.

Another way is to print out the reference card and
keep it
handy.
To see what is available, try: ‘M-x locate RET refcards RET’.
Specifically I recommend the basic emacs card: refcard.pdf and then the
orgcard.pdf
