Thanks heaps

Is it not just creating a Mask Layer and in the Page & Layer Gallery, selecting the Mask Layer to unlock it and dragging the closed line shape into the Mask Layer?

Ahh! Thanks, I'll try that next time I need to create a bezier curve mask.
Cheers David.P
No need to fiddle around with layers:
* Cut your freehand line
* Change to any of the mask tools
* Paste (in place)

OK thanks Phil, that worked!
It even pastes the mask with bezier control points:

However, they still can't be grabbed and edited. But yesterday, I succeeded two times in editing a pink mask with the Shape Tool (F4).
Today, I can't get the mask into editing mode, no matter what I do
Funny how after many tries I also managed to edit a mask with the Shape Tool but when I tried to retrace my steps I got lost again. There is a way but I gave up. Sorry David.
Added: I never really mastered working with masks.

@Boy: thanks for the confirmation of the problem
Do you have v9 or v10?

Thanks, so mask editing seems to be still buggy there
