How to get into the Hero Lab editor?

Hello All:

Apologies in advance for the dumb question... this must be more obvious, but I can't figure it out!

From Tool/Show Editor I get this dialog:

And from the File menu, I get this:

On a mac.

I've checked for updates, tried both D&D 3.5 and 5e, I don't get access to the editor to create custom items.

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance.
 
It looks like the active window is the Portfolio window. Is the menu different when you have the Editor window active?

Here's what picking Tools/Show Editor gives you on Windows:

Ah! I interpreted the dialog to mean going back to the main app menu! I didn't realize the dialog changes the main mac menu (which is not in the dialog on a Mac).

Thank you for the help.
