Here is some Mac help for ya.

The key with the little Apple on it is called Command

Command + Q = Quit Application
Command + W = Close Window (not application)
Command + C = Copy
Command + X = Cut
Command + V = Paste
Command + Space = Spotlight (Search)
Command + K = Connect to Server (in finder)
CTRL + Click = Context Menu
Command + Option + Esc = Force Quit
