create and open tags in windows and other markings...

[newbKt]

Hello all.

This is the system I am using:
WinXP
Miktex 2.4
Emacs/AucTeX precompiled bundle
(http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/download-for-windows.html)

I was wondering if it was possible to create a tags file and open all
of the files in the buffer at once. I need very explicit instructions,
not rtfm. I tried to type etags in the minibuffer, but I don't think
that was the correct location because I never could finish typing the
word without emacs triggering some macro or going into straight text. I
couldn't figure out where in the world I was supposed to type it.

Also I tried to use %g to mark the files I wanted, but I was not
successful in getting the files I wanted marked. Is there a way to mark
files that begin with 0 and have the extension .tex? I tried a variety
of things, like 0*.tex, 0[*.tex] but none of them worked. An example
file list is given below:
cow.tex
02-bull.tex
03-eagle.cgz
09-fish.tex

I want files 02 and 09 to be marked and then I want to open them up
with some magical combination of keys.

Any help anyone can provide is extremely appreciated!
