How am I also able to get the matching .mon file so I can generate the monster for encounters and to get the monster to show up on all the appropriate lists?
E-Tools: When creating monster, it only generates .rac file..

I recommend that you read my How to Build a Dragon walkthrough on my website (below) -- it helps explain the relationship between the .rac files and the .mon files. In a nutshell, you have to build the .rac first and then use the Monster Editor to finish off the race as a monster.

Eric, I haven't checked your site yet, so forgive me if it already addresses the following...
I've added a githzerai race file via the race editor, and created a stock monster file for githzerai using the monster editor. However, I get an error message when I use the character generator to create a githzerai with class levels. What am I doing wrong?

That's a bug -- I believe the workaround posted was that for some reason the Char Gen is looking in the Core/Races folder and not looking correctly into the User/Races folder. I think you can place a copy of your .rac file in Core/Races and it will work for you. Let me try ...
Yep, that worked. I copied a file Vampire, Human.rac from my User/Races to Core/Races and the generator works fine that way. The problem, now, is that race appears twice (once in the A-Z list for the core/MM races and once at the end of that list with the custom races) -- so just be sure to pick the right one when generating.
Note that this is a temporary fix until the patch comes out.
