Need for better documentation about running BNGL files #24

In the Visual Studio Code app, there's a Run and Debug icon (looks like a bug/insect/beetle on top of a triangle) at the left side of the app window. If I click on this icon while working on a BNGL file (in an attempt to run the file), I get a message indicating that I need to install the "BioNetGen Language" extension, which is confusing because I have this extension installed. So... to run a file, I need to click on the flagman icon near the top right corner of the app window. Could this fact be made clearer in the documentation? Clicking on the "Run and Debug" icon (at the left side of the app window) seems like the natural thing to do, and the error message about needing to install the BioNetGen Language extension reinforces this idea. But... it's not the right idea. Instead, I need to recognize that the flagman icon is what I need to click on, which is not clear from the documentation. And the flagman icon is not legible and not clearly related to running BNG. Could you replace the flagman icon with "RUN BNG" so it's easier to recognize what this button is for?
