2.To rename the folder, click the current name until the blinking cursor is displayed and enter a new name.

The file is added to that folder but not automatically opened for editing.  It can be opened by double-clicking on the filename.  Alternatively, the File > New or File > Open menu selections can be used to directly open the file for editing, in which case the filename gets added under the Files folder.
