The Main Toolbar lets you access common NewsEdit functions:

The Bin is a database where clips and sequences are stored and organized. The
top-level bin appears by default when you start NewsEdit. You can create
additional bins to organize your media. You can also customize the information
about each clip and then search specific fields in the database.
See “Setting Up The Bin” on page 37 for details on using the Bin.
