As Steve said check out the help file. There has been some big changes from 6/6.5 and 7 to versions 8 & 8.5.

The changes in 8.5 are for the better I say, the menus take a little while to get used to tho.

The Quick Menus/Tabs have not really changed that much and all the icons are the same as they were in 6 or 7. Againas Steve said all thepoly tools extist in the Modelling Menu Set under Mesh and Edit Mesh.
  • Extrude Polys and Edges are now the same tool/option in the Edit Mesh Menu, it will extrude what ever you have selected (Vert, Face, Edge) Edit Mesh > Extrude.
  • Append to Polygon Tool is under Edit Mesh if Memory Serves me right. Edit MEsh > Append To Polygon
  • Delete Edge is found under Edit Mesh > Delete Edge/Vertice
  • Script Window is in the same place. But if you are having issues using it then reinstall Maya. I have not come across this issue myself.
