You should be able to scroll up by the page with M-v and down by the page
with C-v. You can scroll up and down by a single line with C-p and
C-n. If M-v doesn't work for you, then ESC-v should do the same thing.

It would be really helpful for you to sit down and work through the
built-in tutorial. All the basics of moving around windows and buffers
is covered there. You can start it by typing 
C-h i 
and then just follow the instructions.

HTH,
