When you click on new project, you will be prompted for a file name to
save your project file (with .llb extension).
Your project then opens with the program area showing a Level 1
template. Changing to Level 4 or 5 gives you a collapsed Inventor
template. Click on it to expand to show the Inventor diagram window
where you write your program using the usual Inventor commands with data
logging thrown in.
To save the program that you have written as part of the project, click
on File/save at the top left most corner.
Note: the program window also has a File/save but this will save the
program as a separate file (with .vi extension) and not as part of the
project.
Close your project. When you re-open your project, the program area will
show a collapsed version of your program. Click on it and voila, it
will expand to fill the program window.

Yes, for example, you can have a bot follow a line with 2 light sensors
and collect data from the 2 light sensors during the run. Go to the
Upload area to retrieve the data which will be displayed nicely on a
chart.

There's a Robolab Teachers Guide #2 that deals with the Investigator
option but it is a reference guide not a how-to book.
Persevere!
