How do I close a mask in After Effects?

So I've spent time adding all the points of the mask only to realize that somewhere along the line I actually started a SECOND mask. So I delete the second one and want to continue with the first. How do I re-activate the first one so that I can then close that mask? It seems like I can only add points along the mask, but not add any new points beyond the last one created. I'm trying all manner of shift, ctrl, alt, and I'm not yet able to add a new point after the last one in the mask.

EDIT: aha...so I finally find the answer. I can right-click on the end point in the mask and choose Closed from the menu. Ugh.
