To run drush you have to open a terminal window (a command line) and change directory to the location where you have installed Drupal. Then, provided you succesfully completed the prior steps, you simply type "drush" at the command line (the prompt) in that window and hit [enter]. If everything is working right, drush will print out a brief description of how to use it and a list of options and commands.
How you work from the command line depends a lot on the system you are using (Windows, Linux, Mac etc.) and is way beyond the scope of a drush tutorial. Drush is very much a tool for people (us geeks) already familiar with that way of working.
If the above doesn't make a lot of sense to you, then drush probably isn't a prospect for your toolbox ... at least, not yet ;-) Hypothetically, someone might make a graphical interface to drush, but I wouldn't bet on it.
