    20 The NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib, etc, libraries are shipped with SasView.  
    21 However, some functionality may not work. 
     19The NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib, etc, libraries are shipped with SasView and so functions from these can be imported into the shell/editor, however, some functionality may not work.

    25 *NOTE! The Help() and Credits() calls do not work on Macs.* 
     24When a Python file, for example a fitting model, is created or loaded with the *New* or *Open* options from the menu, a new tab opens with an editing notebook.

    29 Example 
    30 ------- 
     29If 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.

    32 An example calling the Matplotlib plotting gallery:

     31To 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.
