I installed it a few days ago -- so I can only think of a few things:
1. I don't use the gui version but if you do, my understanding is that
you should get a bunch of additional pull-down menus. I saw some
screenshots of this -- possibly on the download page at www.vim.org.
2. The plugin is extensively documented in the Vim help after install.
:h latex-suite.txt
You can also use the following:
:h latex-suite-quickstart.txt
to access the tutorial
or for reference purposes:
:h latex
.. and do a <Ctrl-D> -- instead of <enter>
3. One manner of accessing different functionalities via the keyboard is to
use <leader>ll commands -- where <leader> is by default mapped to "\"
and "ll" are two letters.
for instance:
\ll : compile document
\lv : view resulting .dvi file
