I take it you just used wordstar far more than Blender.

ctrl+e = Edge tools menu
u = texture Unwrap
x,y,z = self evident axis
s = scale
r = rotate
g = grab
e = extrude
h, shift+h, alt+h = hide operations

and so on.  I think it's pretty logical.  What is ilogical is expecting 
someone not used to visual 3D modelling knowing what extrude or unwrap 
means...
