I recently inherited one of these babies: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/eos/eoscamera/EOS1000FRebelS/index.htm
It's a lovely little thing- except I don't know how to use it! How can execute the %26quot;multiple exposure%26quot; technique with this thing? I don't know where the film rewind button is....
Also, how can I change the shutter speed/ISO. What does a higher shutter speed mean and what does a lower shutter speed mean? When is the situation appropriate to use these settings?
Thank you in advance :)

if by multiple exposure you mean shooting more than 1 picture on the same piece of film then you can't do that with this camera. it is an auto wind/rewind camera with no multiple exposure button to allow shutter re-arming without advancing the film.
you shouldn't need to change the ISO because this camera has auto ISO sensing for all film cartridges with DX sensing strips (which is basically all film unless you roll it yourself). however, if you want to verify the ISO turn the top dial to ISO and see what the number says on the little lcd display.
shutter speed can be changed in either M mode or Tv mode. a high or fast shutter speed is used to take pictures of fast moving action like sports. a low or slow shutter speed may be used in low light situation like inside or at night but a tripod or stable support will be needed to avoid camera shake. you can also use a slow shutter speed to capture motion blur like those night pictures of the freeway when all the lights of the cars are streaking by.
most importantly you need to learn how to read your light meter. on that camera i believe it's at the bottom as you look through the viewfinder. it should also read out on the lcd display in M mode. for starters it may help to keep the camera in Tv mode. this allows you to set the shutter speed and the camera does the rest based on the film you have loaded inside. this way the light meter is always reads in the middle as it's supposed to but without so much work on your part.
it may also help to document your shots as you shoot them. write down the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO for each shot. then when you get your film developed you can look and see what went right and what went wrong and then correct it. it's cumbersome but it'll only take a couple rolls of film before you figure out what works and what doesn't.

First, do an on-line search for an Owner's Manual for your camera. Try here:

You can also try eBay if you want.
Second, spend time reading %26amp; studying the Manual.
Trying to use the camera without the Manual is a waste of time - and frustrating.
