Read through that for everything you need. You insert coins with 5 and 6 and start with 1 and 2. You can change settings by hitting TAB.

Enter selects the highlighted option/enters the submenu.
Esc takes you up a menu level or exits the menus or MAME.
Input (This Game) menu lists the keys mapped to the functions. To change the key, highlight the function, press enter, then press the desired key/button. If you mess up, press enter, then press escape (shows "none"), then enter, then escape. (restores that function to default)
Description | Key
P1 Coin | 5
P1 Start | 1
P1 Right | <Right Arrow>
P1 Left | <Left Arrow>
P1 Up | <Up Arrow>
P1 Down | <Down Arrow>
P1 Button 1 | <L-Ctrl>
P1 Button 2 | <L-Alt>
P1 Button 3 | <Space>
P1 Button 4 | <L-Shift>
P1 Button 5 | Z
P1 Button 6 | X
Cancel | <Esc>
Select | <Enter>
Config | <Tab>
Pause | P

Settings should save upon exit of game if you change them. If they don't save, make sure your folders aren't "read only".
And here's the link I meant last night - http://mamedev.org/devwiki/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions (http://mamedev.org/devwiki/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions). This has everything you will need. Here's an example:
The arrow keys work, but I can't fire, jump, etc.
Here are the default controller buttons for many games:
5 - Insert Coin
1 - Start
Arrows - Move
Ctrl - Action Button 1
Alt - Action Button 2
Space - Action Button 3
Mouse - Analog Control (needed for some games)
P - Pause
ESC - Quit MAME
F2 - Service Mode
Tab - MAME Options Menu
Note: There are many games with much more complex controls. If you need to see or change a games controls, press Tab and choose "Input: This Game".

Let me move with all due alacrity to post in agreement and support of Mr. Scott's assessment. Indeed, well played, Mr. Oliver.
I'll be on the lookout for my next opportunity to swoop in and use that bad boy!
