How do create a wallet address?

I downloaded the Windows wallet and when clicking "New Address" it doesn't generate one, it just brings up blank boxes for you to fill in yourself.

If I click on the receive button there is an address in the window that starts with "ST" but I have no idea if that's supposed to be "my" wallet or not. I also do not see an option to view the private keys, so I have no indication of who controls this address.

I'm not sure how to proceed.

Here's the mining guide, it explains everything pretty well: http://sigilplatform.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Sigil_Mining.pdf.

If you want to see your private keys, simply go to "Wallet", and then "Export Keys" in the upper left hand corner of the wallet. It'll create a text file with all the private/public keys.

Is there a way to create a new address similar to how the Swing Wallet operates? I always like to use a fresh address that did not come with the install in insure it's actually mine and that I have total control over it.

P.S. - Thanks for the quick response.

No problem, and yep, definitely. Simply click on "New Address" in the "Receive" tab, and then "OK". The label is optional, all it does is give the wallet a title.
