Doing what?
Most of the stuff you can do with it is accessed by right-clicking on a pic you have open to bring up the menus. They take some getting used to.
Make sure you have the window-thingies for layers, brush selection, and tool options open-those are the most useful. If they aren't there, go to file-dialogs.
When saving, you might have to find the folder you want to save in. .\ will show you the contents of a directory...start with C:\, and you should be able to find the Desktop or My Documents or something.
You then need to specify the filename, complete with .jpg or whatever. If you want to save in GIMP's "native" format (so you can keep layers and stuff), use filename.xcf. If you want a .jpg, call it filename.jpg, and so on.
If you're saving in a format that compresses stuff, it'll give you options for that. With .jpg, the higher the quality number, the better it looks, but the bigger it is.

Easy answer: Make an image with multiple layers, and save it as a .gif. Tell it to save as animation, not flatten it.
If you want to tweak the time a frame shows up, go to that layer's properties and type layername(#ms), with # being the number of milliseconds. The higher the number, the longer that part will show up.
Go to Filters-Animation-Animation Playback to preview your animation.
If it goes all pixel-y when you save it, try lowering the amount of colors yourself: Image, Mode, Indexed. No, I'm not sure what all the different options for dithering do, I'd just fiddle with them.
