Hi Brian,

The .exe file is the executable file format across all platforms that
implement the .NET runtime, even for the Mac / PPC, so you've ended
up with the correct type of file there.

To run it at the command line on OS X you can simply type:

mono helloworld.exe.

Like java programs the executable you've made could be
transferred from the Mac to a Linux PC for example,
and it will still execute, and vice versa.
