Then you'll probaly have one or more cue's or submasters running, causing the sequence editor to go offline.
Stop the cue's and reopen the sequence window, now its online and you can program what you want.
If you want to add a shape while running cue's then just open the pan/tilt window and enable shapes there. Don't open the sequence window.

What Remco said is all true. One thing to consider is that if you change the shapes from the pan/tilt window while running a cue, you will put that light into over-ride. No problem, you just have to take it out of over-ride when You want to. Also, If you have multiple lights you want to change the shape, you will have to manually select and change the shape for each fixture.
The best way is to use the submaster. Search the wiki and the forum for Submaster. You will love it once you get your hands around it.
