"Remember that I am running an iMac and then running VmWare Pro and in that VmWare running a Windows 10 virtual machine"

That explains a lot. You have no right click. Usually on a Mac, Command key + LC (or should I say just 'C') equals a right click, hence the similarity to bringing up the Unit menu. Have you tried Shift-Command-C ?

I run the game on an iMac as well, but using a partitioned drive so now emulation. I did however, buy a cheap 20 buck mouse with right and left clicking. Well worth it.

Ok, since this is a General Questions, and pendant of completing a review of the video tutorials that I already don't remember from years ago...

Can you access to a netplay game to see your weak points and plan the next session even though you cannot obviously change anything or this is not implemented?

Yes. You can load the game, using the option "review game".

Couple of questions:

1 When you close by mistake one important screen like the Production Planning, is there a way to call this form again or you need to reload. It's not the same as a detailed map or a world map, I just havent guessed how to get them back.

2 How can I make the game save my preferences everytime I load the game because of an issue (for example to have the control flags in the maps) or everytime I use a form (like Naval Review form opens with subs and enemy units as well)?.
I have seen the Screen Layouts, I understand that they have been created just for size and location of the forms, not the contents or display of them.

You must save the screen layouts for every country (each "player" has there own). If you want the same layout for every major country, then you will need to save it for every major power. I find this works for most of the screens. There are a few screens that will not load on start up (e.g. units in hex panel), but will if you manually retrieve the screen layouts.

Note, saved screen layouts do save the control and weather information preferences (at least in my experience).

Ok, I will keep on trying with screen layouts and thanks for the tip on Prod Planning.

Edit: It's not that I say that screen layout edition doesnt work properly but I went through the manual and however didnt understand it very well. I will give it a try.

thanks both
