but for some reason when i press b then e i only get the option to make the normal smelter type workshops. what am i doing wrong?

There are 3 possibilities:

1. You haven't discovered any magma yet. Expose the magma pool/pipe and then try again.
2. You used reveal.exe before digging to the magma - since you never actually discovered the feature (with the announcement in the center of the screen), it didn't enable magma buildings. Use tweak to enable magma buildings (note that you'll have to do this every time you close and reopen DF, though you'll only need to do it when you want to build new ones).
3. You reclaimed a fortress where the magma had already been revealed. This is a known bug - use the steps above to work around it.
