Menu
There are a lot of abbreviations on the emacs status bar and no good way to decode them. This article was the most helpful. I could not find the word "status bar" in the Emacs manual. Does anyone know where I could find descriptions of how that status bar works?

Two Emacs manuals, the GNU Emacs manual and An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp, can be purchased in printed form from the FSF store . These manuals, along with the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual and several other manuals documenting major modes and other optional features, can also be read online.
The menu bar is a set of menus at the top of each Emacs frame. The menu bar is enabled by default. You can type the command M-x menu-bar-mode to toggle it on and off temporarily. Add (menu-bar-mode 1) to the end of your init file.
The Emacs distribution includes the full source code for the manuals, as well as several Emacs Reference Cards in various languages. To ask for help with GNU Emacs, use the mailing list [email protected] or the newsgroup gnu.emacs.help . The mailing list and newsgroup are linked: messages posted on one appear on the other as well.

Emacs calls it the mode line. You should read the manual. It contains exhaustive discussions on terminology which are (sadly) quite different from what most other programs employ.
