Grognard:
so what does F3 do?
I'm still a noob with MC.
I admit it: I'll pause the game to google "how-to"...
LTK:
It's a wealth of information. Press it, and find out!
The Minecraft documentary has gone free on youtube now.

All you bastards talking about it got me logging in again for the first time since January.
I got caught up exploring underground caverns, sort of lost. I found a a lot of magma for a change, with some blue stuff I didn't get a good look at before a small fast zombie (that's new) ruined my newbie unarmored shit.
I respawned at night. Still not entirely certain where I am, but I think I found a woolmark I left myself. Also a creeper saved me from a spider! I should totally give the next creeper I see a nice big hug...

OK, just don't do that in multiplayer unless you're in a very safe place, because it doesn't actually pause the game. It does in single-player, so you're fine doing it there. In MP I've found it safest to disconnect back to the title screen and then reconnect to the server when I'm ready.
Oh, and to answer your actual question, F3 gives you some handy information including your XYZ coordinates.
LTK:
I had a very tense moment yesterday when I encountered a cavalcade of monsters on the bottom of a ravine, most of which I was able to kill by drawing them out, but among them were two witches, so I had to adjust my tactics from hit-and-run to shit-and-run. Witches are fucking scary. What's worse, my failsafe strategy is always to deposit a bucket of lava behind me so the monsters just run into it and burn themselves to death, but witches don't give a fuck, they just drink a potion of fire resistance. I was able to retreat to the top of my staircase, which I'd blocked off, where I was able to kill one with the last of my arrows, but my sword and pickaxe were both on the verge of breaking in half (I had resorted to shoveling zombies to death), so I wasn't about to face the last one head-on. I didn't just want to leave because I left a furnace with a full stack of iron at the bottom, right where that witch was. The solution was to sneak to the bottom, very carefully, and encase the witch into cobblestone while its back was turned. Success!
Then a bit later I died while trying to break through a zombie dungeon, but that turned out all right because I recovered my stuff.
