For the DG-IV and XR series the airlock controls are on the top panel view. f8 for panel view, Ctrl+up to move to the upper panel.

what buttons should i press in order?

First make sure your internal and external doors are closed.
Open the nosecone.
Evacuate the chamber.
Open the external door.
EVA who you want.

You'll notice this is not quite realistic as in real life you need to pressurize and depressurize the chamber for each group of people that enters or leaves your ship. While with the DGIV and XR series you can do EVAs in or out as long as you are in the above state.

Use the numpad "/" key to switch between rotational and translational thrusters.

You could use Interplanetary MFD to simplify your intercept. But no, you need to learn some actual navigation. Read 'Go Play in Space' the link should be in a stickied thread.

No. You can use the Orbiter's stock Orbit and Transfer MFDs to get there, or learn more complex (and accurate) tools such as TransX and IMFD.

As to the next question I predict you were going to ask - "how?", read the documentation. It's all in your \orbiter\doc folder.

No, but this can teach you how to do it manually: http://www.aovi93.dsl.pipex.com/play_in_space.htm

No, but there are some good tutorials here, including some for getting to the Moon:

I highly recommend "Go Play In Space". It will teach you all sorts of interesting things (including going to the Moon) and will give you a good solid base on which to build your spaceflight experience.

There is one other thing, and I will break it to you gently since you are new... You will find that good grammar and spelling in your posts will greatly improve your chances of getting useful information. Spaceflight can be fairly technical and the less ambiguous your posts, the more directed the responses will be. EDIT: You will also get a more friendly reception from the members because your posts will be easier to read :EDIT. Compare your previous post with how it should be written:

OK, thanks.

One more question :lol:: Is there an autopilot to go to the Moon?

In addition to poor grammar and spelling, posting the same question twice is frowned upon:
