This question seems too foolish to ask, but where/how may I open the Elements Editor to create a new element?

I have experienced the Elements Editor a small bit by editing an existing element, but I find no way to open the editor other than by editing an an existing element.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions or guidance.

As a "workaround", I was able to do this successfully:

In the User Collections folder (/home/myUser/.qet) I created a text file (try.elmt) with no content and the element extension (.elmt).

I then opened the newly-created try.elmt in the QeT editor.
I was able then to "save-as" the desired name for my new element and work normally in the editor to created the desired content.

This method is OK with me, as it is a simple methodology and the result is as desired.

Is there perhaps a more straight-forward, more effective way to do this?

+1 for this too.
