I guess that is a possibility, but I don't like Navigator, because it is 
very slow.

Have you considered iSeries Navigator?

Expand Databases.
Go to your database (generally machine name)
Expand Schemas
RIGHT CLICK on the library where you want to create the table.
In the resultant pop-up menu, click on New, and then click on Table.
