OT Master...I'm missing something basic

This is embarrassing. I've had DTL's OTMaster for quite a while, but I've only just played with it.
Today I wanted to edit a GSUB entry...a ligature entry points to the wrong glyph. So I open the gpos/gsub table viewer, and I can see the problem, but the edit menu is greyed out...and remains so in any of the views I can find.
This persists with different fonts as well.
What am I missing?

Hi John,
You’ll have to export the GSUB features from OTM, to edit the applicable entry in a text editor and to import (compile) the features file again. Then you can use the viewer to check whether it all works fine.
