1) Where should I look for documentation?

User documentation is found in the file amsrdoc.pdf.

Some example files (cite-xa.tex, cite-xb.tex, cite-xh.tex, cite-xs.tex
and gktest.ltb) are also provided.

2) How do I define my own bibliography style?

For information on customizing the formatting of references, see
amsrefs.pdf, especially sections 4, 6.10 and 6.27.

3) I'm trying to use amsrefs with hyperref, but various bad things
   are happening.

Unlike most packages, which must be loaded before hyperref, amsrefs
must be loaded *after* hyperref:

    \usepackage{hyperref}
    \usepackage{amsrefs}

4) When I put

       review={MR0113214 (22 \#4052)},

   in a \bib, there is no space between the review number and the
   preceding period in the printed output.

You must use the \MR macro to mark MR reviews:

       review={\MR{0113214 (22 \#4052)}},

This will ensure the spacing is correct and also allow you to use the
msc-links option.
