Just wanto listen to talk. How control forward &/or move back to re-hear?

Question

I'm new to iTunes. Don't want music. Just want to listen to downloaded talk, lectures, speeches,stuff like that.
On other audio I have been able to see how control, like move a cursor (whatever you call it) forward as much as i like, or backward if i missed something and want to hear it again. I could see, see where we were in the total time frame. But now I don't even see how much time is left in the audio talk. And there is no apparent way to move forward or backward.
Is that the way it is with iTunes? Somehow I've downloaded some talk that has come into iTunes, i'd rather listen to it on some other audio I'm more used to and can at least see to control. But i'd best learn how do do on iTunes now.
I'm just doing this on my mac computer, not no iPod or anything like that.
I'm a bit embarrassed to ask such a basic question.
Don't think I won't thank you, cuz
I will.

Wonderful.
Although they couldn't have made it less obvious.
And I wish I could have easily found where they explain such basic things to newbies. ((So before bestowing upon you the coveted title of "The Solver" I shall leave this temporarily unanswered in hopes that someone can tell me how I missed the beginners explanation of this.))
I said I would thank you, and so I shall, now & here.
I'd like to draw everybody's attention to this poster, Anakonda.
You,"Anakonda" (if that is your real name) are a genius, an iTunes genius, and a vey generous person with your help.
I am in your debt.
And if I can ever answer any of your mac queries I shall attempt to do so.
Again, my thanx.
