A really good free reference (in several languages) is at:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/lshort

Several useful links can be found at:

You might also want to look at "Learning LaTeX" by David Griffiths and Desmond 
Higham (ISBN 0-89871-383-8). It is by no means a comprehensive book, but it's 
a good get-your-feet wet introduction to LaTeX.

It would be a good idea to learn some basics before joining a maillist, 
otherwise you might be perceived as someone who hasn't RTFM. If you have 
programming experience, the above materials should be sufficient to have you 
writing tex files without further assistance.

Since this is off topic, if you have other questions please email me 
privately.

HTH,
