Notes and Simple Notes not working

When I hit the simple note icon, "specify start position" pops up in the command box. According to the Getting started with draft sight free manual an ""insert simple note box" is suppose to pop up in the graphic area. It starts on page 84. I am operating the newest draft sight download on my Mac OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1. Anyone else have this problem? Or can help ? Thanks
