How do you connect two vertices in 3DS Max 2013?

I have two vertices which I wish to connect with a line to create an edge. (actually several)

I have tried all I can think and done several Google searches but it only comes up with older versions method which say use the "connect" button... But I can't find the connect button on my version (see below)

This is what my menu looks like:

These are the vertices I'm trying to connect:

Basically, I've edited an STL file and deleted some edges and vertices. Now I want to fill the gaps and triangulate what's left.

Thanks.
