[mono-vb] Need help calling python program through mono

In exactly which way unsuccessful? Error messages? Nothing happens?

This you can do (and I can't see anything obviously wrong with the code

It's the terminal that would have to do this (unless you can find a way to
remotely control the terminal window somehow, but I suspect it's a lot
easier to make the newly created terminal window execute a script that does
this).

Once again, knowing what actually happens would make it easier to find the
problem.
