You can read (find or load) a file after you are in Emacs by selecting File – Open File… (or typing C-x C-f). In the bottom small area, you should see find file: ~/ where you type in the pathname of the file. For now, you should type in stories after the / and a file with stories should be loaded in the window for editing (If the stories file is missing, you didn't copy it. Exit Emacs and copy the file into your directory as described in an earlier section). Since you will be experimenting and modifying your own copy of the file, feel free to modify it as you wish. The stories file is too large to fit on the screen all at once. Notice the black bar on the bottom, it says ‘top’. This means you are at the top of the file. At other times by displaying a percentage, it indicates how far you are through the file. When you are at the end, it says ‘bot’ for bottom. If all the file can be displayed, then it says ‘all.’
