From the File menu choose New $\ensuremath{\rightarrow }$ Project...

This will launch the New Project wizard and you should choose General $\ensuremath{\rightarrow }$ Project to create a new project where you will store your Bio-PEPA models. Choose Next and give your project a name such as Bio-PEPA-Examples. Choose Finish. You now have a project which you can see in the Navigator view.
