If I create a polygon and name it (GND for instance) will it be
automatically filled with copper? I think that is what the manual says
but want to be sure.

Hi John,
It actually depends on the situation. For display purposes it won't always
update the screen. For that you need to run the ratsnest command (and have
the bit set in the options to process polygons).
If you mean during the CAM file generation then that is done automatically.
I know that confused me when I started. All polygons are processed
automatically before the CAM processor creates gerbers.
Cheers,
James.
