I can record alright but how do I save it. Then call it back to play.
I would like to send it to email.

You cannot save a file in Audacity. If you are happy with the performance, then File > Export As WAV... > and type in a name for your file. That file you can email any time you wish.

If space is a problem or the speed of the internet connection is slow, then you can Export As MP3... and produce a much smaller file, but not as good quality. Did you install the "lame" software? You need that to Export As MP3...
