[Mono-dev] Problem creating a parallel mono environment

[Dale Ragan]

Did you do this step, which is right after the instruction on how to
create the environment bash script:

    $ source ~/pathandwhateveryounamedthebashscript

It should change your prompt after running, to indicate you're in an
alternate environment.  Based on the script, your prompt should start with
[mono].
