Along the top of the application window is a typical set of menus and buttons. These menus and buttons are context sensitive and will change as the current window changes.

You will see three tabs: Projects, Online Resources, and My Profile. The Projects tab shows the list of existing projects and lets you open a new project. The Online Resources shows a series of links that include:
