A few commands to get you started:
Load and run a program: CHAIN "progam name"
Get info about your machine: *HELP
Switch between ROM based applcations: *application name
There are a couple of aplications built-in to the Master's ROM, including View (word processor) and Viewsheet (spraedsheet). To start each one type *WORD and *VIEWSHEET respectively.
Soft-reset: press BREAK
Hard re-set: hold down CTRL then press and release BREAK. The machine should beep and clear the screen. Release CTRL.
There are many others too. There's a lot of old manuals and books floating about that can get you doing some pretty advances stuff with the BBC very quickly.
The BBC has BBC BASIC as it's built-in programming language. It is apparantly very similar to Apple BASIC, but I've never used an Apple ][ so I can't really say if it's true.
