Fireworks 3 rounded rectangle corners

[NuJoizey]

Where the heck is my rectangle tool options panel that let's me round rectangle edges?!?!?!

you may ask, why version 3? - it's 'cuz my company is too cheap to upgrade. I use it decently well despite this, but I digress.

I thought all you had to do was double click the rectangle tool like it states in the help:

You can round the corners of a rectangle or square as you draw it by setting the curvature of the corners in the Rectangle tool Options panel.

Set this value before drawing the rectangle.

To draw a rectangle with rounded corners:
1 	Double-click the Rectangle tool to open the Rectangle tool Options panel.
2 	Enter a value in the Corner text box.
3 	Hold down the mouse button and drag to draw a rectangle.
	

Note: You cannot round the corners of an existing rectangle.

The problem is, that the Rectangle tool options panel doesn't open!! is this a bug? or am i just missing something really obvious?? help!! has anyone else run into this?
