-Example
--------
+If a Python (.py) model has a linked C (.c) subroutine *in the same folder* then the shell/editor will open both! However input focus is usually transferred to the tab with the .c file.
 
-An example calling the Matplotlib plotting gallery:

+To compile a model, select *Run* > *Check Model* from the shell/editor menu. If the model contains a unit test (which it should!!!) then this will also run and a popup window will report the success/failure of the test.
