Sounds like the icon is not on your toolbar?

Right click the Toolbar, select Customize and you will all the options to place there for easy access.

After that, you wish just wish to click HELP, Help Topic and just quickly go through the manual 1 time!

Toolbars

There are four toolbars in-built into the terminal. The main commands used in the terminal are duplicated in the toolbars in form of buttons. Normally, the toolbars are placed under the main menu, but they can easily be moved in any program window area.

Toolbars can be shown or hidden by the "View — Toolbars" menu command.

All toolbars are customizable, what allows to place only necessary, often used commands in them. To set up a toolbar, one has to open its context menu (right mouse-button click) and execute the "Customize..." command.
