Hi,
You can find the position of the cursor, and the playback position in the
Selection bar. Ctrl+F6 cycles you round the toolbars, the table of tracks,
and the selection bar. When you open Audacity you're initially in the
table of tracks, so to move to the Selection bar, just press ctrl+f6. You
can then move through the controls in the selection bar by pressing tab.
These controls include controls for selection start and audio position.
When there's no selection, then selection start shows the postion of the
cursor. For more details, see the Selection bar section of the following
guide:

The equivalent of Goldwave's queue points are labels, which are contained
in a label track. Unfortunately, these label tracks are not very
accessible at the moment: creating labels is ok, but once the labels are
created, if you tab through the label track, the labels are not read by
screen readers. However, there's an Edit Labels editor (opened from the
tracks menu) to get round this problem. This contains a table of the
labels, with their names, start and end points.j Note that Jaws 11 doesn't
read this editor properly, but this will be fixed in an Audacity release,
hopefully in December.
To create a label for the current cursor postion or current selection,
press ctrl+b, type in a name, and then press enter.
To create a label for the current playback position, press ctrl+m, type in
a name, and then press enter.
Note that in both these cases the focus is moved to the label track.
Because it's easy to accidentally create a label when the focus is in the
label track, it's normally best to move back to an audio track after
creating a label (up arrow moves you up a track).
Do post any further questions you have,
David.

Two things. Where on the screen do I look to see how far I'm into the
track?
Is there a way of setting queue points as in gold wave.
