I am not sure what you mean by use. Typically it is used to edit things. http://www2.lib.uchicago.edu/keith/tcl-course/emacs-tutorial.html http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/tour/

Hello,

I'm using Windows 8.0, and the version of Emacs for this system. When I start the program, I have a window / buffer bigger, and another much smaller (only one line) below.
Upload a file type. SML in a window, and I would like to run this file. I know if I use the "use" <filename>. Sml ", but where? On which screen I use this command?
Thanks for the help.

EMACS does not run SML files. It edits them. You need the SML/NJ compiler to run them. This page for a class talks about this: http://faculty.cs.gwu.edu/~clarkson/courses/csci4223/2013sp/install-sml-emacs.php

If you use GNU Emacs (which I assume you do), just go to http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ and you will find answers there as its their official site and is open source/free software which you can dig into it deep.
