How to mine:
1) Make sure you have a pick. (To check: 'z', left arrow, enter, down arrow x 13)
2) Make sure one of your dwarfs have Mining skill enabled.
3) 'd' and mine out into a hill, make sure there is access to outside where miner will start.

How to make a manager:
1) 'n', down arrow x3, 'r', find dwarf you want as manager (using up down arrows) and press enter

After you select mining, you must designate the mining zone. Esc will get you out of the mining designation mode, so don't press it before you're finished designating.

With mining selected, "paint" the tiles you want to be dug out with enter over one corner of the area you want dug out to the other - this will highlight tiles eligible to be dug out, and Dwarves with the appropriate labour and equipment will proceed to dig it out.
