save data file on mac

I have created a new weapon in the editor. But how to save the file?

If I select save file it tells me that I must save it in "the game systems data folder".

But where is that? I tried explore folders which led me to
Library/Containers/com.LWDTechnology.HeroLab/Data/Documents/Hero Lab/
So I tried saving there but Finder can't find it to save in. I can't see Library/Containers/com.LWDTechnology.HeroLab

I can see it in Terminal but not in Finder. So I save in my Documents folder then use Terminal to copy it to Library/Containers/com.LWDTechnology.HeroLab/Data/Documents/Hero Lab/

I quit Hero Lab so it can read in any new info, and I can see it. But I can't edit it! I can't open it because Finder doesn't see it, and I can't edit the one in my Documents file.
 
This is the ONLINE forum - which doesn't have an editor. You must be using Classic. Try posting in the Hero Lab Forum, under the game system you are using (or in HL Discussion). I don't use Mac, only PC so I can't help much with this but hopefully someone else can.
To save, you want Tools > Explore Folders > Game System Data Folder. This should show you where the file goes. It should have the game/system in the name.
Have you tried opening the saved file from the editor itself?
