What the heck is the "top menu" referred to in step 2?  I don't have get any menu when I tap the event on the calendar.

@Boris Badnov  I think they mean the pencil icon, similar to the icon at the bottom left of this window.

However, while that used to work, it no longer works with the latest Android OS. I don't know who to blame, Android or Google, or both.
